Field notes
The project distinguishes borrowed vocabulary from phrases, noting that phrases do not take grammatical gender or plural forms. Its examples show words acquiring Greek articles and endings, including ρουφιάνος, which the page says can mean an informer in Greece or a roof repairer in Melbourne. Contributors are asked to identify where a word was heard, and editors check submissions before publication.
