For example, engineer Nt means that the word engineer -has two main uses in English; the principal part-of-speech is as a noun -"That engineer could write in microcode with one hand and in ADA -with the other" and its secondary part-of-speech is as a transitive verb: -"We sure engineered that software to death." - -In many cases, the -ed, -ing, --ly, and -ic forms of words are not explicitly listed; the participle forms -of verbs will be usually marked simply with the V sign rather than the -more specific t or i symbols. Words such as "be," which often have -more than one head entry in a dictionary, have one listing with all the -parts-of-speech for all senses concatenated. Foreign words commonly -used in English usually include their diacritical marks, for example, the -acute accent e is denoted by ASCII 142. -
