The LINES page displays a structured list of text lines from the linguistic corpus. Once Lines loads, you’ll see a table with:

On the Lines page, users can quickly find specific content by typing a word or phrase into the search fields. Searches can be performed by line number, original text or English translation. Alternatively, users may browse the corpus line by line in order to locate and select a specific desired line.

The MORPHEMES page is an interactive morpheme-based search and dictionary tool. It lists Megrelian morphemes (the smallest meaningful linguistic units) along with their English glosses and grammatical categories. On the main Morpheme page you will see a table with several columns:

The PRINTED TEXTS page provides access to a selection of older texts, allowing users to explore some of documentary heritage concerning Megrelian language directly through the site’s search interface. At the top of the page, you’ll see a text selection table with columns for Title, Author, Publication date, and Publication place. Above this list are filter controls that let you narrow down which texts to display, or you can choose to “Search all texts (ignore filters)” to view everything in the database.

Below the filters, there is a Search button and a field where the search word or phrases should be entered.

This page offers both basic and advanced search functionality:

Search All Texts: You can bypass all filters and list all available printed texts in the database by selecting the appropriate option and clicking Search.

Advanced Search Syntax: You can use specific query formats to refine your search:

• =word — finds an exact token (exact word form).
• "exact phrase" — finds the exact expression you enter.
• Wildcard characters such as * and ? can be used (e.g., do* to match any word starting with do, or gr?y to match variations like gray/grey).

These search options make it possible not just to filter by metadata like author or date, but also to query the text contents themselves using precise linguistic matches and pattern searches.

When you perform a search, the page returns a list of matching lines from the 'Printed texts' corpus. At the top of the results it shows the total number of occurrences found for your search unit. Below that, results are shown in a KWIC (Key Word In Context) format - this means the search result appears in the center of each line with surrounding text before and after it so you can see how the word is used in context.

Each result line is accompanied by interactive controls such as:

• ➕ Info, which shows more details about the text entry, such as the bibliographic information.
• ➕ See paragraph, which expands the context to the full paragraph, where the search result occurs.
• ➕ Copy, which allows you to copy the line text.

The output therefore gives you a search frequency count along with a navigable list of excerpted lines from different printed texts where the unit appears, all presented with context and options to view more detailed information.

The DICTIONARY page serves as a Megrelian-English Dictionary Online. It provides Megrelian lexical entries, including variant pronunciations, their morphological forms and translations or glosses.

At the top of the page, clicking the (☰) icon opens an alphabet navigation bar that lists the Megrelian characters. Selecting a letter filters the vocabulary list to display only the words that begin with that letter, making it easy to browse the entries alphabetically. Each entry is listed in a format similar to a dictionary:

• Megrelian word or form.
• Phonetic transcription.
• Gloss or meaning includes English glosses or labels such as adj (adjective), cn (common noun) or other grammatical info.
• Variants list phonological or dialectal variants of a word.

The user interface of the Megrelian–English general-purpose dictionary has two types of searches:

1. Lexeme-based search (Search lexeme), which allows the user to find a specific lexeme along with its IPA transcription for reading purposes, dialectal variants, part-of-speech information, and translated meanings. If a lexeme has more than one meaning, these are listed and numbered.
2. Entry-based search (Search entry), which allows the user to find information on IPA transcription, dialectal variants, parts of speech, and translated meanings within an entry without focusing on the key lexeme.
