About
That is the whole problem with reading Latin. A dictionary is arranged by headword, and the form in front of you is not a headword. To find tulerunt you must already know it is the perfect of fero, and if you knew that you would not have needed to look. Lemma runs the inflection backwards. Type or tap any Latin form and it tells you what the form is, which word it comes from, and the rule that produced it. Type regibus and get dative or ablative plural of rex, regis, from the genitive stem reg-, because -ibus is only ever one of those two. Type puellae and get all four readings at once, because puellae really is genitive singular, dative singular, nominative plural and vocative plural, and an app that picked one for you would be guessing at the exact thing you asked about. Macrons are optional, because no manuscript, inscription or exam paper has ever printed them. Four works are included and every word in all four parses: Caesar, the Vulgate, the Aeneid and Cicero, with any word tappable where it stands. Nothing is stored as a list. Lemma holds the endings and the principal parts and derives more than twenty thousand forms on demand, and the same tables run in both directions, so what it shows you in a paradigm and what it recognises when you type are the same thing by construction. There is no account, no server, no advertising and no tracking, and the app works with no connection at all.
