This makes them a real pain to read. Isn't the place of LOOP just after DO, or even better, both described simultaneously with multiple headers. That way, a glossary is much more educational with everything in context. And alphabet is the realm of an index, isn't it? Now, the argument that some words don't easily fall in a category does not hold. More than 90% do and cross referencing will make for the rest. How would you have liked the words of this note sorted?
