1. Record and words, idioms, phrases, &c., which are strange or unfamiliar to you, or familiar words used in an unusual context, &c. I.e. record anything you consider worth noting.

2. There is no need to record place- or personal names.

3. Note the word in its base form. If the word in the quotation is plural, give the singular form at the top left of the slip.

	e.g.	Rhoais iddi rhyw swyddau
		Rhugl foliant o'r meddiant mau.
		(record under swydd)

4. When citing a verb, give the first person singular present indicative and the verb-noun at the top left of the slip.

	e.g.	Gweddïais, nid gwedd eofn, /
		Dan gêl, megis dyn ag ofn.
		(record under gweddïaf: gweddïo)

5. When citing an adjective, give the base form every time.

	e.e.	Ni welais y môr erioed yn lasach
		(record under dan glas)

6. Cite phrases, sayings, &c. under the first element.

	e.e.	Penderfynodd John roi pen ar y mwdwl am
		ddeg o'r gloch, ac aeth adref o'r swyddfa

7. When writing the citation on the slip, underline the word in question every time.

8. Feel free to add any remarks or information on the slip. Place a circle around any such addition.
