This work is ongoing. The list is being extracted from existing dictionaries and glossaries (not directly from texts), and is therefore a collation of examples considered noteworthy by previous analysts (though possibly not in relation to all the words under which they are indexed here). A list of the sources so far included is given below. Many other sources need to be added, and the available texts should also be examined; or better, this list should be supplemented by an East Ulster textbase to provide additional examples, especially of the common words.
Structurally, the grouping of forms into headwords and cross-referencing between them, the internal structure of the entry, and the selection of examples, are all only in the initial stages of development. The following model for an entry may be gradually put into effect:
1. usual headform, part of speech, meaning in English
2. morphology: variant and oblique forms (reference to sources)
3. meanings: with examples (reference to sources)
At this stage of completeness, organizing variant and oblique forms under a common headform seems premature, and in the main they are left in place and cross-referenced.
The scope is Ulster outside of West Donegal (but including Inis Eoghain and Fánaid), together with areas of North Leinster and East Connacht which are no longer Gaelic-speaking - in fact, all of Leith Chuinn outside contemporary Gaeltachtaí.
Many forms included may be of wider provenance than East Ulster (e.g. use of Éirinn for Éire). Conversely, forms marked in sources as Donegal or Ulster, or not marked at all for provenance, may obviously apply to East Ulster, but are not included here as there is no definite assertion of their East Ulster attestation. Forms with East Ulster provenance in Din1 may appear in Din2 without specific provenance, in which case they are not here quoted from Din2.
Note that Dinneen, in quoting examples of Ulster words, may impose unlikely grammar on the examples, e.g. eclipsing a singular noun after preposition and article, or employing synthetic verb forms, in areas where these would not be expected. With O'Neill Lane too examples illustrating the lexis of one dialect often conform to the grammar of another. Examples from these sources, when identified as East Ulster, should not necessarily be taken to be illustrative of the dialect in respects other than the principal word in question.
