• singular (Q110786)

Senses

Definitions

Wikidata does not store textual definitions. Sense is primarily defined via item for this sense (P5137) while other statements add nuance. Glosses should not be abused to store definitions. Nor should they be abused to add clarifications on top of structured data. Glosses should be however clear enough to identify definition in one of the external sources listed below.
