Vocabulary — Latin & Greek

A core-vocabulary study tool plus a medieval-Latin reading suite. Built on the Dickinson College Commentaries (DCC) core lists and extended with per-author build-up tiers mined from the Perseus canonical corpora; the medieval layer covers the U Toronto CMS core and the MGH Libelli de Lite. Lemmatisation is automated and approximate; the introductory core is the authoritative layer.

Core vocabulary

• Core Vocabulary — Latin & Greekstudy tool Dickinson DCC core (Latin 997 · Greek 518) + per-author build-up tiers (T1–T3, 30 Latin + 30 Greek authors) + a selectable medieval CMS set. Two modules: Visualize (coverage ladder, tier ladder, semantic treemap, parts of speech, author overlap) and Study (searchable cards/table, flashcards, quiz).
• Reading Ladder — what to read nextgraded path The site’s fulltext readers ordered by vocabulary load — the share of each text covered by the DCC core — so a learner can see which Latin or Greek reader to take on next (Xenophon → Herodotus → tragedy; Sallust → Caesar → Tacitus). A lexical guide, joined from the per-author coverage data.

Vocabulary contest

A text-based Latin and Ancient Greek contest plan: vocabulary is demonstrated inside authentic passages, not by isolated spelling.

• Latin & Greek Vocabulary Contestplanning overview Two separate language tracks. The intended Beginner ceiling is 1,769 entries in each language; the provisional Intermediate packet adds 250 entries selected for breadth across author corpora. Read the rationale, round families, authentic-text rule, and current release gates.
