Look up words

The Dictionary tool helps you look up terms without leaving Sutraya.

  • Left nav → ToolsDictionary (/dictionary)
  • Or use Look up from a reader selection
  1. Enter a headword or fragment in the dictionary search.
  2. Open an entry at /dictionary/[slug] for the full gloss.
  3. Browse when you want to explore rather than resolve a single form.

Select a word in a root or translation layer and choose Look up. Sutraya passes the selection and language context so you land closer to the right entry.

  • Try both diacritic and plain forms.
  • For longer explanatory questions (“what is pratītyasamutpāda in MN?”), prefer Ask after a quick dictionary check.
