Lexica

The exploration of word form and sense is to build a lexicon that considers the semantic field. Aristotle and Wycliffe are the founding resources.

Aristotle

Aristotle has been rendered in many languages, by many translators. The translations differ considerably at times, and most show some bias.

Worse, we we do not have the original Aristotle anymore. The works have been forged and redacted since Antiquity, and the extant material requires balancing probability for word sense.

It is yet an excellent exercise. As physical fitness is healthy, the remaining writings can promote salubrious habits of the mind, if you take them like with a litmus paper.

The word map here initiated the endeavor.
