Punjabi Vishav Kosh - Volume VIII

What this book is about

Eighth volume of the Punjabi Vishav Kosh, the encyclopaedic dictionary of the Language Department, Government of Punjab. The front matter is a usage guide in Punjabi explaining the conventions of the dictionary: entries are ordered by the Gurmukhi letter scale rather than by subject, 'r' and 'v' are alphabetised as 'ra' and 'va', multi-word headings are filed under the first word, and homonymous place names are broken out as 'Kapurthala: State', 'Kapurthala: District', 'Kapurthala: City'. It also shows how cross-references are worked, for example sending a reader from the entry Kangaroo to the entry Bear. The imprint pages for this volume are missing or garbled in this scan, so its exact publication details and alphabetical range could not be read here.
