2.The entry is replaced by the symbol (~) where there are examples or phrases, for the sake of space economy.

3.The pronunciation is enclosed in brackets and is rendered in Greek characters in the Bulgarian-Greek section and in Cyrillic characters in the Greek-Bulgarian section, so that the dictionary is more user-friendly.

4.For each entry, there is a brief grammatical characterization (e.g., αυτoъус [αφτομπούς] noun. a. bus). Nouns that have only singular or plural forms have a supplemental note.

5.For nouns that remain the same in both masculine and feminine forms, gender is not indicated.

6.For adjectives, the endings for the three genders are mentioned (e.g., ъепопнк-а-ο [μπελολίκ] adj. white-faced).

7.Verbs are written in the first person singular, in the Present tense (e.g., вецерям [βετσέριαμ] verb. dine). Some verbs that are used only in the third person singular are directly written in the third person (e.g., зазорява се [ζαζοριάβα σε] verb. dawns).

8.Words that have double forms are written in one entry (e.g., денст (ву) [ντείστβαμ] verb. act, демьел (нн) [νεμπέλ (ιν)] noun. a. (colloq.) slacker).

9.Where necessary, explanatory terms have been used (e.g., medical).
