 = Typical errors =
+1. Do not try to write a new synset on the first top line (box). To enter
+   a new synset you have to open bookmark Edit.
+2. When entering a relation between two synsets or linking two synsets via
+   ILI,always check whether they both exist.
+3. Do not forget to click on button New when entering a new synset and
+   button Save when you want to store it. If button Save is not 
+   clicked on nothing will be stored.
+4. Avoid entering one synset twice or more times.
 
 
 = Linguistic recommendations =
+1. Use a synonymical dictionary if it exists for a given language.
+2. A good explanatory dictionary of a given language should be used
+   for establishing hyperonym relations on the first level, e.g ''chair''
+   is a ''piece of furniture''.
+3. To find reliable translation equivalents use parallel corpora.
+
 
 = How to write a synset? =
+1. You decide what literals a synset will consist of and what part of
+   speech it belongs to: noun (n), verb (v), adjective (a) or adverb (d)
+2. When you open bookmark Edit click on New,
+   then type down a respective literal (one or more), assign it a symbol
+   of POS and click button Save.
+3. If you do not click Save all what you wrote will be lost.
+
 
 = Numbering senses =
+1. A new synset (in fact, any synset) has to be always numbered, i.e. you
+   have to provide a sense number for it. 
+2. Sense number distinguishes the different senses of synset, e.g. 
+   bank:1 - financial institution, bank:2 as in 'river bank'. 
+3. It is usual as you can observe in Princeton WordNet (v. 2.0 and higher)
+   to assign lower numbers (1, 2, 3) to the basic senses
+4. It can be seen that senses in PWN 2.0 are quite often too 
+   fine grained - see e.g. verb ''to get'' with 36 senses. We recommend
+   to translate only the senses that can be confirmed in a corpus.
