1 The examples of usage in the majority of cases consist of simple sentences which have neither idiomatic nor syntactical importance. Nouns: he is a leader, honey is sweet, the crane is flying. Adjectives: he is mad, his father is rich, this pillow is soft. Verbs: the fire is smoking, he is knitting a sock, the water is flowing. For a student of Uzbek who, after having acquired a basic knowledge of grammar from, say, the grammatical sketch of Poppe's Reader, which contains a glossary of some 3,000 words, turns to this dictionary, these examples of usage will be superfluous.
