YAML Schema

The parenthesized value at the beginning of each definition item played an un-ignorable role: it is the label of the relationship between term and defintion in graph database loaded by Wilhelm SDK. For example, both German words
- term: denn
  definition:
    - (adv.) then, thus
    - (conj.) because
and
 - term: nämlich
   definition:
     - (adj.) same
     - (adv.) namely
     - (adv.) because
can mean "because" acting as different types. This is visualized as follows:

Visualzing synonyms this way presents a big advantage to human brain who is exceedingly good at memorizing patterns

German

vocabulary:
  - term: string
    definition: list
    plural: string
    declension/conjugation: string

The conjugation is the inflection paradigm for a German verb and declension the inflection for nouns and adjectives. Only one of the two is present for a term.
The type of the word can be inferred using the following rule
- term with a definite article of "der"/"die"/"das" and a field of plural that comes with it signifies a noun
- Those with conjugation field denotes a verb; its definition also begins with an indefinite form, i.e. "to ..."
- The rests are explicitly stated in the definition field. For example,
```
  - term: ob
    definition:
      - (conj.) if
      - (conj.) whether
```
  means "ob" is a conjunction in this case
```
  - term: denn
    definition:
      - (adv.) then, thus
      - (conj.) because
```
  tells that "denn" can be both an adverb or conjunction
