# encyclopedia
## English

* This entry needs quotations to illustrate usage. If you come across any interesting, durably archived quotes then please add them!

### Alternative forms

* encyclopaedia (UK)
* encyclopædia (archaic)

### Etymology

Borrowed from New Latin encyclopēdīa, encyclopaedīa (“general education”), a univerbated form of Koine Greek ἐγκύκλιος παιδείᾱ (enkúklios paideíā, “education in the circle of arts and sciences”), from Ancient Greek ἐγκύκλιος (enkúklios, “circular”) + παιδείᾱ (paideíā, “childrearing; education”), q.v. Nearly all modern English use of the word influenced by the scope and format of Diderot & al.'s French Encyclopédie.

### Pronunciation

* (Canada) IPA: /ənˌsəɪ.kləˈpi.di.ə/
* (UK) IPA: /ɪnˌsaɪ.kləˈpi(ː).dɪə/
* (US) IPA: /ɪnˌsaɪ.kləˈpi(ː).di.ə/
* Audio (US):(file)
* Rhymes: -iːdiə
* Hyphenation: en‧cy‧clo‧pe‧di‧a

### Noun

encyclopedia (plural encyclopedias or encyclopediae or encyclopediæ)
* A comprehensive reference work (often spanning several printed volumes) with articles (usually arranged in alphabetical order, or sometimes arranged by category) on a range of subjects, sometimes general, sometimes limited to a particular field.
    I only use the library for the encyclopedia, as we’ve got most other books here.
    His life's work is a four-volume encyclopedia of aviation topics.
* Similarly comprehensive works in other formats.
    Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia anyone can edit.$^{[citationneeded]}$
* (dated) The circle of arts and sciences; a comprehensive summary of knowledge, or of a branch of knowledge.

#### Usage notes

* The spelling encyclopedia is standard in American English, common in Canadian English, accepted in Australian and International English, and also very common in British English although nonstandard. Oxford spelling prefers the etymologized form encyclopaedia, which restores the αι diphthong in Ancient Greek παιδεία. The variant with the æ ligature still appears in the titles of some encyclopaedic works, but it is otherwise archaic in ordinary usage.

| ◌ْ | U+0652, &#1618; ARABIC SUKUN |
| ← ◌ّ [U+0651] | Arabic | ◌ٓ → [U+0653] |

## Arabic
### Letter

ـْ
* sukūn (سُكُون), indicates the absence of a vowel after a consonant or the presence of a diphthong.

#### Usage notes

* Word-final sukūn is fairly rare in Classical Arabic, though it does exist in certain verb forms, pronouns and particles.
* In pausal position, final short vowels are predominantly omitted. In Modern Standard Arabic, the same commonly happens also in other positions, particularly as many native speakers find it hard to apply the correct case and modus forms (which do not exist in the modern dialects). However, the sukūn sign is not normally used for this, precisely because it is optional. The text will either be fully vocalized or, if it is only partially vocalized, final letters will be left without a sign.

#### Synonyms

* ـۡ (Eastern sukun)

# Dolch
## German
### Etymology

Uncertain. First attested in the mid-15th century in Upper German texts as Dolch, then also Dollich, Tolch. At first mostly with weak declension (dem Dolchen). The formerly held assumption of a Slavic origin has been abandoned (older Czech tulich is instead a German borrowing).
The word is now mostly derived ultimately from Latin dolo (“pike, dagger”), but the origin of the velar remains unclear. It may be due to conflation with a descendant of Proto-West Germanic *dalk, *dolk (“pin, needle, clasp”), which is entirely unattested in Continental West Germanic, only being found in Old English dalc, dolc (“brooch, buckle, clasp”)). Another theory links it to Middle French dollequin (ca. 1400), from Old French dolequin, itself likely from Middle Dutch *dollekijn, a diminutive of Middle Dutch dolle (“dagger”, mid-14th c.), likely from the Latin. Compare early Dutch dolleken, dolck, dolch (modern Dutch dolk).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /dɔlç/, [dɔlç], [-ʎç], [-ltç], (southern also) [-lx]
