**Dictionary of Characterie** Core to Characterie is a collection of particle and characterical words which form the foundation of the writing system. # Particles Particles are unique symbols assigned to common words, often those that would never otherwise appear in the characterical table (there is no such thing as a synonym or antonym for words like "the" or "of"). This are most often things like pronouns, prepositions, articles, conjunctions, but also some common phrases and a small smattering of religious terms. ![the](./dictionary/part-the.svg) ![we](./dictionary/part-we.svg) ![i](./dictionary/part-i.svg) ![well](./dictionary/part-well.svg) ![etc](./dictionary/part-etc.svg) ![be](./dictionary/part-be.svg) ![fie](./dictionary/part-fie.svg) ![hence](./dictionary/part-hence.svg) ![they](./dictionary/part-they.svg) ![myself](./dictionary/part-myself.svg) ![ourselves](./dictionary/part-ourselves.svg) ![so](./dictionary/part-so.svg) ![so as](./dictionary/part-so_as.svg) ![and](./dictionary/part-and.svg) ![in](./dictionary/part-in.svg) ![of](./dictionary/part-of.svg) ![to](./dictionary/part-to.svg) ![a](./dictionary/part-a.svg) ![for](./dictionary/part-for.svg) ![with](./dictionary/part-with.svg) ![it](./dictionary/part-it.svg) ![it is](./dictionary/part-it_is.svg) ![it self](./dictionary/part-it_self.svg) ![as it were](./dictionary/part-as_it_were.svg) ![that is to say](./dictionary/part-that_is_to_say.svg) ![that](./dictionary/part-that.svg) ![least that](./dictionary/part-least_that.svg) ![thou](./dictionary/part-thou.svg) ![ye](./dictionary/part-ye.svg) ![self](./dictionary/part-self.svg) ![ward](./dictionary/part-ward.svg) ![amen](./dictionary/part-amen.svg) # Characterical Words The characterical words are the backbone of Characterie. Every word you write will be one of either a synonym, antonym, or type of one of these words. !!!
**Note for Historians** If you are learning Characterie for the purposes of reading historical texts, be aware that various surviving texts are not consistent. In particular *The Characterie Table* from the 1888 reprint contains duplicated words, missing symbols, and words that appear to have no meaning. This work is based entirely on the Bodleian copy, and the 1888 should not be used as a source of truth under any circumstances.
