This wordlist is a guide to the version of Aesop's Fables found in the Jacobs-Döring Reader. The definitions were mostly taken from William Whitaker's Words, a very helpful resource even while a work in progress. Many thanks to the author for the use of his material. I have added circumflexes to indicate long vowels. Go to the Perseus version of Lewis and Short for a fuller explanations of the items below. By the time they are ready for this level of reading, students should already know many of the words not presented in the list below. If you have arrived here from the page of fables, you can use the BACK-button on your browser to return to there, and then reverse the process to return to this wordlist. Or you may find it easier to open two separate browser windows for these pages, tiling them vertically.
