Linking to entries

Each lemma is wrapped in a definition list with id equal to its lexicon id (for example ehk:ai for ai “water”). You can deep-link from anywhere on the site to a headword on the paginated page that contains it:

/world/languages/hickic/seneran/early-hick/lexicon/alpha/3#ehk:ai

Use the alphabetical index below, then jump by page (or search in the page) until you find the word. The same id appears on both alphabetical and by-field pages, so either browse mode works for fragment links.

An up-chevron (always visible) and a link icon (shown when you hover the entry or focus it with the keyboard) sit to the right of the headword; the link jumps to this lemma’s URL fragment on the current page (# plus the entry id). To return here, use Overview or your theme’s page top control when available.
