THE STAMPS
Every word in the ledger carries one of two stamps, the way a shopkeeper marked an account.
ΒΕΡΕΣΕ · VERESİYE
On credit. The word is in the book, but its story has not been checked by both editors yet. Both languages use the same word for it.
ΕΞΟΦΛΗΘΗ · ÖDENDİ
Settled. The Greek and the Turkish side have both been checked against the dictionaries and studies listed with the entry.
μπλε μελάνι
Blue ink is Greek.
kırmızı mürekkep
Red ink is Turkish.
Etymologies are checked against the dictionaries and studies listed. An entry is stamped settled only when both the Greek and the Turkish side have been checked. Research for this ledger was compiled with AI assistance and reviewed by the editors.
