In the XML-version of the text, every word in the Dictionary is related by identity numbers to one particular entry and to a particular line, column and page. Moreover, each string is marked by its ‘role’ in the text via a ‘tag’: headword, part of speech (e.g. verb), dialect area identified by county, and so on. To keep the tagged text relatively short, we have abbreviated most of the tags, for example, pos for ‘part of speech’ and, in line with Wright, Yks. for ‘Yorkshire’ as the county where the string or word at issue was used.
