Oxford Essential Geographical Dictionary How to use the Oxford Essential Geographical Dictionary The 'entry map' below explains the different parts of a typical entry in this dictionary: 1. Boldface: Main entries, alternate names, and derivative forms appear in boldface. Word division: Dots within the main entries mark places where a name can be divided correctly, as at the end of a line of text. Many names will not have dots at each syllable, because the dots are intended to show optimum word division points. Thus, one-letter syllables at the beginning or end of a name are not marked with dots (Aus•tria, not Aus•tri•a; Avon, not A•von). No divisions are marked in hyphenated names, because they are best divided at the hyphen. Standard generic terms that are used in many place names, such as river and mountain, are not marked for word division. 2. Cross-references appear in BOLD CAPITALS ( ). 82
