Advice to users 
Nouns are in general indicated in singular; plurals are formed by adding s or es. For Greek or 
Latin nouns used in Spanish descriptions refer to the Latin list of this glossary. Some words 
taken from Greek are written in different ways in the different countries of Hispanic language, 
e.g. cilia (-0), hialocisto (-e), briofitas (briofitos), periantio (-to), etc. 
The adjectives are indicated when it corresponds with two endings which refer to the male and 
female gender. 
If two words have the same root and have the same meaning the least used is written within 
brackets. When two numbers are indicated at the end of the description it means that there 
are two equivalent words in the English glossary. 
In this section words are listed with their most common accentuation. In some countries terms 
may be written with grammatical accent, justified by ortographic rules, because they receive 
intonation or stronger sound on different syllables. A list of some of these terms, most of them 
composed of Latin or Greek words, is given above.
