The first glossary

Kept for comparison. This was the first way of building the glossary: a score for how cleanly each Korean form tracks an English term, with no passage read. It is shown as it was last built, from 1,508 paired passages, and is not kept up to date. Scoring missed obvious meanings and variants that a reader sees at once, so it was replaced by reading every passage. The glossary is that reading.

224 Bahá’í terms with the Korean the official translations use for them, worked out by pairing 1,508 passages across 13 books. Every entry names the passages it was drawn from. How this is built.

No translator has reviewed any of it. Confidence measures how cleanly the Korean form tracks the English term across those passages, so treat a high score as a strong lead rather than a ruling. A term needs 0.55 to be published, except a name that is transliterated rather than translated: Nimrod and 님로드 are the same sounds, and that is worth something the passage counting cannot see, so a name may be published lower when its sound and its coverage together are strong enough. 62 entries score 0.75 or above, and 198 rest on at least one book whose pairing a printed number proves.

The Korean shown is the form the translations actually write. Where a term is written more than one way, every form is listed with its count, and where the run of characters that identified the term differs from the form written, the entry says what it matched on.

Some entries are flagged as sharing their Korean with another term. That is the method's main blind spot rather than a synonym: two words appearing in the same passages cannot be told apart by which passages they appear in, so East resolves to 서양, which is West. Read a flagged entry against the term it collides with.
