From time to time, new units are added to this Cross-reference group that have been “completed”; that is, with as many definitions as can be found or with a significant number of examples.
All of the sections that have both definitions and quizzes are only available to those who have paid for access to the larger, or more complete, Latin-Greek cross-references lists.
