So far, there is no full-text search for the entries published under methodology. However, such a full-text search is planned and under development and will be available in one of the next versions of VerbaAlpina. In the meantime, the full-text search of the browser (usually Ctrl+F) can be used instead, after clicking on "Show all entries".

In the text contributions, the following, to a great extent usual principles of notation are used: linguistic forms (examples of attestations) are written in italics; the meaning is written between single quotation marks, e.g. formaggio 'cheese'. Extralinguistic categories (concepts) are depicted using upper-case letters. The difference between linguistic meaning and concept is always especially important when there is no word for certain concepts in single languages/dialects, as in the case of CHEESE OF THE LIQUID AFTER THE FIRST COAGULATION OF THE SOLID MATTERS. This is called ita. ricotta, fra sérac, Alemannic Ziger etc. However, a word in High German is missing.
