Glossary of bell-related words

The definitions presented in the Glossary are intended to clarify the usages and classifications employed in this Website. The Glossary is available in two versions, with identical content but different organization. Choose the one which best suits your needs:

The alphabetical version of the Glossary lists definitions in conventional order. This is useful if you are looking for a specific word, or for a group of words which have the same root.
The alternate version of the Glossary presents the defined terms in a logical, rather than alphabetic, order. This is useful for studying words that are functionally related but have different roots.

A few bell-related words that are not used in this Website are discussed in a page about Vocabulary Oddities and Errors.
