Abbreviations

We do not use any abbreviation within the entries of our dictionary, because it now useless to save space as we used to in the good old days of paper dictionaries. However, in the lists of terms and in the tables, the space is limited by the width of the columns; we use the abbreviations listed below only in that case.
