1 lemma pos cefr_level coverage_rank global_frequency context_sentence context_sentence_zh definition_zh
2 discount absence Verb Singular UNKNOWN C1 3001 3 Pony shrugged, not willing to discount the possibility of giants, not after viewing a dead goblin. Let the younger boys and girls see him then, and afford him the respect he deserved, and let the older men see that the village, under his watchful eye, had fared well in their absence.
3 locked vibrant Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3002 3 Even as Cat started to turn back for the first, the drunk's arms came about her and locked about her chest, squeezing her tight. How much younger and more vibrant Annalisa had seemed!
4 olive fading Noun UNKNOWN C1 3003 3 Even from this distance, the elves could see the olive-green orbs sparkling with intensity, truly seeing the imagined foes. Tuntun turned in accord with the punch, her head fading back across to Elbryan's right, her right hand catching the boy's wrist and pushing outward, her left hand coming back in and catching the outside of his elbow, driving in.
5 competition somber Singular Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3004 3 Pony had told him many times that Kristeena was sweet for him, and the older girl, not viewing a ten-year-old as competition, had been charmed by the thought. Squat towers anchored every turn in the wall; narrow windows showed that the place was built for somber reflection and defense.
6 gesture denial Noun UNKNOWN C1 3005 3 He looked at Pony and winked, and was surprised when she returned the gesture with a serious frown. Images assaulted them, mingling with imagined scenes even more horrifying, and amid all of it welled utter denial, the hope against obvious reality that this simply could not be happening.
7 voluminous intriguing Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3006 3 Twenty-five stood in a line, cloaked in thick brown robes with voluminous sleeves and large hoods that were pulled low to hide their faces. Most intriguing of all was the giant purple amethyst, with so many different crystal shafts.
8 southeastern accomplishment Noun UNKNOWN C1 3007 3 No land came in sight for three days, the Windjammer making a direct run to the southeastern point of the Gulf of Corona, the northern tip of the region known as the Mantis Arm. And, in the end, it is a sense of accomplishment, of purpose, and not the wealth attained by such accomplishment, that equates to fulfillment and happiness.
9 solemn realm Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3008 3 The ceremony went off perfectly solemn yet joyous, ladies crying, men standing tall and handsome. Even Elbryan, who would be entering the realm of adults that coming spring, had spent almost all the previous week with his head up a dirty chimney.
10 toil fatal Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3009 3 He got his reward for his morning's toils when he returned to the bog to collect the tenth loaded basket. In the hollow of the twin pines, he had lost sight of his enemy - the first, and often fatal, mistake.
11 underground lad Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3010 3 When the showers arrived, he and his fellow Preparer would be hidden underground, sheltered from the pelting meteors. The call brought the sprinting lad to a skidding halt.
12 market brutally Verb Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3011 3 Seven hundred monks lived here and another two hundred servants, many of them never leaving the place except to go on short visits, usually to market in the village of St.-Mere-Abelle, some three miles inland. Then suddenly, brutally, he leaped ahead, fell low in a spinning crouch, and kicked up hard at Jill's extended sword.
13 grueling rotation Adjective Singular UNKNOWN C1 3012 3 The schedule was grueling, designed to find weakness and break those who were not fit for the daily rigors of the Order of St.-Mere-Abelle. Brother Avelyn turned hard on the crank, both wood and man groaning with each rotation.
14 testing declaration Noun Singular UNKNOWN C1 3013 3 Eight years of formal study, eight years of grueling testing, had brought Avelyn to this point, one of twenty-five remaining of the two thousand twelve-year-olds who had begun the process, each desperately vying to gain admittance in this class of God's Year 816. The smaller man, Burgis, shied away at the declaration.
15 eyelid interior Noun UNKNOWN C1 3014 3 But weariness overtook him, caught him where he sat, and brought his eyelids low. They were far below ground in one of the abbey's interior chambers, so there could be no window.
16 mortality offering Noun UNKNOWN C1 3015 3 Inevitably, though, that led Elbryan to thoughts of mortality and thus to the recent fate of his family and friends. Whatever the man's reasons for offering a different title were not important, Avelyn decided, and so he accepted the name without further question.
17 denial somberly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3016 3 Images assaulted them, mingling with imagined scenes even more horrifying, and amid all of it welled utter denial, the hope against obvious reality that this simply could not be happening. Bradwarden nodded somberly, and Elbryan scooped up Hawkwing and ran off into the night, behind the departing powrie, though the ranger held faith that Avelyn would know how to deal with the dwarf.
18 momentary partially Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3017 3 None of the group was hurt; but the momentary distraction gave the drained dactyl the time to retreat. Pettibwa left Fellowship Way to her, even partially, Grady would not be pleased.
19 sweetness revenge Noun UNKNOWN C1 3018 3 The sweetness was there, but somehow just out of Jill's reach. Despite very real fears, Elbryan wanted revenge.
20 parting rationally Noun Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3019 3 In the morning came the second painful parting. And now he was here, the best scenario he could rationally have hoped to find.
21 windblown drain Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3020 3 Thoughts of his parents could not hold Avelyn's attention as the group crossed the windblown courtyard and entered the grand entrance hall of St.-Mere-Abelle. Gradually, though, his resolve drained away and so did his strength.
22 intriguing feat Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3021 3 Most intriguing of all was the giant purple amethyst, with so many different crystal shafts. Brother Justice's first thought was that Avelyn had hired on with this obviously wealthy merchant, perhaps to perform some necessary feat with the stones, perhaps merely as a court jester.
23 statue homeland Noun UNKNOWN C1 3022 3 Along one wall stood a gigantic statue, fifteen feet or more, dressed in a heavy leather jacket, trimmed in fur and set with spiked metal plates and heavy iron rings. He knew that he was nowhere near Dundalis; this mountain was nothing like the gentle, tree-covered hills of his homeland.
24 dramatically utterly Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3023 3 He resisted, and the hematite receded dramatically, almost forcing him from the trance. Then he realized that he was alone again, and utterly lost.
25 gruesome raiding Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3024 3 Spurred by the gruesome sight, she attacked fiercely. If this boy knew of the evil races, then why was his village so utterly ill equipped to deal with a simple raiding party?
26 coat resignation Noun Singular UNKNOWN C1 3025 3 Its limbs were slender and long and its armor a silver shining coat of fine interlocking links. Elbryan shifted to one knee, fitted a heavy arrow, and, with a sigh of complete resignation, let fly.
27 similarly widening Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3026 3 He calmed quickly, though, seeing that all of his classmates were similarly entranced and that the Father Abbot and the other ranking monks seemed not to care. The sharks would feed on the dead, and the frantic actions of those still alive combined with the widening blood spill would likely bring more in, he knew.
28 accomplishment soaring Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3027 3 And, in the end, it is a sense of accomplishment, of purpose, and not the wealth attained by such accomplishment, that equates to fulfillment and happiness. He had to know, and then, when he did know, he couldn't help but imagine the wonder of soaring through the air.
29 wariness devilish Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3028 3 For the adults, the specter of the goblins brought a sobering wariness and then a troublesome distraction. He found Bradwarden, at work crafting some devilish arrows, and the centaur's face immediately brightened.
30 realm layout Noun UNKNOWN C1 3029 3 Even Elbryan, who would be entering the realm of adults that coming spring, had spent almost all the previous week with his head up a dirty chimney. Avelyn had described the general layout to them all, had told of the valley and of the lone mountain that maps named Aida.
31 respectfully opt Adverb Verb UNKNOWN C1 3030 3 Each of this group nodded respectfully at his younger counterparts as he passed them on the rim; some mentioned that Elbryan's patrols would serve as their vital liaison with the village proper. The fire burned low - it had never been truly high, for Juraviel opted for caution, though he was fairly certain there were no monsters in the area, no organized groups anyway.
32 compliment caution Noun UNKNOWN C1 3031 3 After that exchange of compliments, even the passing of endless uneventful hours could not dampen the thrill for the youngsters. The fire burned low - it had never been truly high, for Juraviel opted for caution, though he was fairly certain there were no monsters in the area, no organized groups anyway.
33 team overturn Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3032 3 Elbryan continued his diligent work, though, reorganizing the routes to cover more ground since he was down to three teams of five, with a couple of messengers. It struck the bowl of stew, overturning it and making a mess of the meal.
34 uneventfully distress Adverb Verb UNKNOWN C1 3033 3 Half an hour passed uneventfully, Elbryan walking and looking about, constantly awed by the beauty and the. Recognizing the boy's ultimate distress and embarrassment, Juraviel generously let the insult pass.
35 crumble twisting Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3034 3 The left-hand wall of the throne room crumbled; the twin lava flows intensified, spurting molten stone across the room. Juraviel took full advantage, put Elbryan off balance and kept on twisting, angling the boy over the trough.
36 sympathize charter Verb UNKNOWN C1 3035 3 Brother Justice understood this, though he hardly sympathized. Avelyn and Thagraine had been formally named as the Preparers, the two monks who would leave the chartered ship and go onto the island of Pimaninicuit to collect and prepare the stones, while Quintall and Pellimar would remain aboard, going onto the island only should one of the chosen pair falter.
37 luster cease Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3036 3 Elbryan looked at her, little luster showing in his normally bright green eyes. Even after the showers ceased, the pair would have to wait some time before handling the heated stones, and then the work would be too furious and desperate to pause and contemplate God.
38 absolutely execute Adverb Verb UNKNOWN C1 3037 3 The simple fact that they could not be absolutely certain offered Elbryan all the encouragement he needed. Adjonas watched it all anxiously, moving along the rail as his ship executed a turn.
39 bump vanish Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3038 3 He dared to put his arms around Pony's back, dared to pull her closer, feeling the strangely interesting curves and bumps of her body against his own as they came together. Cat could hardly believe she had spoken the words, but her horror vanished when Connor laughed heartily.
40 urgency virtue Noun UNKNOWN C1 3039 3 The kiss shifted, from curiosity to urgency, then back to gentleness. The man was obviously out of his mind, or at least he appeared so, but to Jill, who had spent a year and a half in the Coastpoint Guards, a cry for preparedness and virtue did not seem like such a bad thing.
41 wag dispute Verb UNKNOWN C1 3040 3 If that was the case, would he be justified in waging battle with these six? This was Adjonas' ship, that Quintall did not dispute, but the abbey had paid well for this transport and the brothers had not been put aboard as slaves.
42 formerly raider Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3041 3 The creature flexed its great wings and settled back in the throne it had shaped from the obsidian that had formerly served as its tomb. "But the southern kingdom has little control over its raiders," Adjonas explained.
43 unreal wistful Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3042 3 It was too unreal, too beyond their experience and expectations. Of alb the places in the area, only Elbryan's private grove was more beautiful than the pine vale and the caribou moss, and none elicited more wistful memories from the young woman.
44 expectation sanction Plural Verb UNKNOWN C1 3043 3 It was too unreal, too beyond their experience and expectations. Avelyn remembered the speech Master Jojonah had given him when first they had talked about the island, the stern warning that to utter even its name to any without sanction of Father Abbot Markwart was punishable by death, and he agreed with Quintall's logic.
45 rag dumb Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3044 3 Avelyn thought his very skin would slip off his body, a great rag, and fall rumpled to the deck. His words, the sincerity of his tone, struck her dumb.
46 fatal occurrence Adjective Singular UNKNOWN C1 3045 3 In the hollow of the twin pines, he had lost sight of his enemy - the first, and often fatal, mistake. Gradually, as he came to see the light in Jill's eyes every time he entered the Way - a more and more common occurrence - the proud young man began to understand and accept that her problem was within the mysteries of her past and not with him.
47 loll carriage Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3046 3 Elbryan looked over at Tol, the man's head lolling about on his shoulders. It was a ceremony that had all of Palmaris talking; the women swooning, the men standing tall, feigning importance, wishing they were in the carriage in Connor Bildeborough's place as it made its winding way, through the streets.
48 grayish peasant Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3047 3 Elbryan saw the bright red gash, the white of split bone, the grayish brain. Any reservations that the nobleman's family had held toward the peasant orphan girl had been washed away when they met Jill, truly beautiful both inside and out.
49 sag attendance Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3048 3 The young man shifted to a sitting position and sagged on the wet ground. It was bad enough that the carriage would roll through every part of the large city, bad enough that more than five hundred people would be in attendance at the church when she and Connor were wed, but the thought of what would come later, after the grand ball ...
50 anymore cargo Adverb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3049 3 There were no lines of defense anymore, no organized pockets of resistance. He did not wake up until long after the dawn, his precious cargo intact in his pack.
51 grotesque provision Adjective Plural UNKNOWN C1 3050 3 As if in a grotesque mockery of that hope, a goblin marched around that corner, bearing down on the girl. Perhaps it was the boredom, the heat, or the tasteless provisions, but the crew grew increasingly uneasy, even hostile.
52 lad ensue Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3051 3 The call brought the sprinting lad to a skidding halt. A long moment of silence ensued, all five - the three humans, Juraviel, and Tuntun - feeling the weight of confirmation.
53 pointy plea Adjective Singular UNKNOWN C1 3052 3 The ugly goblin face, all twisted teeth and long pointy nose, was barely inches from Elbryan's face, and closer still when the creature began to butt the boy. "We're too far out," he said to his captain, his plea sounding as a whine.
54 butt accusation Verb Singular UNKNOWN C1 3053 3 He pulled her hands out wide, and she used the opening to head-butt him again. The accusation hit.
55 brutally seal Adverb Verb UNKNOWN C1 3054 3 Then suddenly, brutally, he leaped ahead, fell low in a spinning crouch, and kicked up hard at Jill's extended sword. To his relief, they did not, but rather they fell against the metal, using their bulk to seal off any chance of entry.
56 overrule supposedly Verb Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3055 3 Wisdom overruled his rage, though, and he stayed hidden and let them pass. He saw reflected in the mirror those images that had been peripheral to him at that time: a supposedly ill man standing at the side of the camp and, more important, the expression on that man's face, hardly noticed at the time, but clear now to Elbryan.
57 buzz suspicious Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3056 3 The whole village had buzzed about the house because Olwan Wyndon was laying a stone foundation. Suspicious, but wise enough to keep his mouth shut, Avelyn bid farewell to Adjonas and the others - though not a man aboard the Windrunner regretted the departure of the three monks - and went ashore.
58 choke trepidation Gerund Singular UNKNOWN C1 3057 3 But before it could get anywhere near to the young man, the giant went down, choking in its own blood. The ranger felt the hairs on the back of his neck standing up, felt a tingling of trepidation.
59 rotation spy Singular Noun UNKNOWN C1 3058 3 Brother Avelyn turned hard on the crank, both wood and man groaning with each rotation. He didn't really know what he would do, other than spy on the masters and confirm his fears of his approaching fate.
60 impatient rod Adjective Noun UNKNOWN C1 3059 3 The stunned man stammered, taking too long for the impatient monk's comfort. Then Avelyn and the remaining guard began selecting and collecting stones: the giant crystal amethyst, a rod of graphite, a small but potent ruby, and several others, including turquoise and amber, celestine and a tiger's paw, a chrysoberyl, or cat's eye, some gypsum and malachite, a sheet of chrysotile, and a piece of heavy magnetite.
61 portly sullen Adverb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3060 3 She stood up and offered her hand, helping the portly monk to his feet. News that she would soon be transferred to Pireth Vanguard far to the north, did little to change Jill's sullen mood.
62 speck disastrous Noun Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3061 3 He turned his fingers gently to flick a speck of mud from her cheek, though his gaze never left her shining blue eyes. Jill, whose only experience with a man had been so very disastrous, did not like the odds.
63 squint irony Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3062 3 Master Siherton squinted ominously and leaned close over Avelyn, glaring openly. Again, Elbryan sat back, smiling at the irony of it all.
64 chore encompass Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3063 3 In addition to their daily duties as first - and second - year students at the abbey, they were given the extra chores of preparation for their journey to Pimaninicuit. The song came louder, faster, and Juraviel began to dance delicate, spinning circles wrapped in a larger circle that encompassed the plants.
65 lust inspection Verb Singular UNKNOWN C1 3064 3 And, because of that passion, because of worldly lusts, a man who could be controlled. Elbryan continued his inspection of the stream to make sure that nothing ominous was swimming along its course, then hooked his pack on the stiff branch of a prickly shrub and gingerly removed his boots.
66 declaration intent Singular Verb UNKNOWN C1 3065 3 The smaller man, Burgis, shied away at the declaration. The first thing Jill noticed was a huge, fat man standing atop a table, waving an empty mug, sometimes in a threatening manner to keep at bay the closer patrons, all obviously intent on knocking him from his perch.
67 commission mill Verb UNKNOWN C1 3066 3 That thought shook Jojonah as he looked around at his decorated chamber, at the beautiful tapestry he had commissioned from the gallery of Porvon dan Guardinio, among the most respected artists in all the world. Across the wide meadow, past the flowers and the grass, he saw perfection of form, a huge stallion, milling about the shadows of the distant trees.
68 gallery regain Noun Verb UNKNOWN C1 3067 3 Brother Avelyn, too, ignored Tol Yuganick's cheering gallery. Over the next giant she went, trying to regain her footing.
69 artist swinging Noun UNKNOWN C1 3068 3 That thought shook Jojonah as he looked around at his decorated chamber, at the beautiful tapestry he had commissioned from the gallery of Porvon dan Guardinio, among the most respected artists in all the world. Elbryan grabbed up Tempest in both hands and surged ahead, swinging an.
70 immaculates landmark Verb Noun UNKNOWN C1 3069 3 Jojonah glanced around the room again, reminding himself that most of the other masters, even some of the tenth-year immaculates, had chambers more richly adorned. She didn't recognize any landmarks but figured she must be somewhere west of Pireth Tulme on the north coast of the Mantis Arm.
71 retire thereafter Verb UNKNOWN C1 3070 3 That night, Avelyn retired to his room, thoroughly exhausted, both emotionally and physically. Pony awakened shortly thereafter, the dulled dawn just beginning, but still the glow from atop the mountain was faintly visible.
72 volunteer glancing Verb Adjective UNKNOWN C1 3071 3 He had spent all his waking hours at demanding work, volunteering for the most difficult parts of each task. A deft twist by the woman turned the sword out of harm's way, allowing Brother Justice merely a glancing hit that forced Jill back a step.
73 herald scrutinize Gerund Verb UNKNOWN C1 3072 3 Only the call to vespers, the ceremony heralding eventide, had interrupted Avelyn's frantic pace. Avelyn scrutinized the broach carefully.
74 flood tempt Verb UNKNOWN C1 3073 3 Images of his mother flooded his thoughts; he wondered if he might see a vision of her now, a visitation of her spirit before it went to its place in heaven. Elbryan, too, was tempted, would have loved to see Andur'Blough Inninness again, especially now, to bolster his resolve before he completed this all-important, perilous journey.
75 disappointment readily Singular Adverb UNKNOWN C1 3074 3 She wasn't, to Avelyn's ultimate disappointment. Pony looked at Avelyn, suddenly very appreciative of the training he had given her with the magical stones but somewhat surprised that she could call forth the magic of this cat's eye so readily.
76 experienced sorrow Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3075 3 2 After only a few weeks in the abbey, Avelyn knew enough about the routine to understand that students much older and more experienced than he were the normal choice for any tasks, however menial, in the Abbot's Maze. To untwist hearts from grasping sorrow,
77 oval repair Noun Verb UNKNOWN A2 3076 3 2 The central stone of the broach was a hematite, as he had suspected, an oval of liquid gray, deep and smooth. That meant gathering wood and tending the fires, repairing the cabins-which always seemed to need repair!
78 portal male Noun UNKNOWN A2 3077 3 2 Beyond this portal, Avelyn saw a huge room, braced by columns and lit by the orange flow of molten stone. One time Elbryan had made the mistake of catching Jilseponie without his male companions nearby, and of tugging too hard on her yellow mane to prove the point of his capture.
79 latch shapely Noun Adverb UNKNOWN A2 3078 3 2 Avelyn blinked; amid the wonders of the door, he hadn't even noticed the huge latch! She was in her mid-teens, but had the shapely body of a woman five years older.
80 hinge formal Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 3079 3 2 Of course Avelyn would not protest aloud, and even his silent musings were washed away as the heavy door opened silently, on balanced and oiled hinges, to reveal the greatest splendor of all. The four monks were on deck when Bunkus Smealy informed them that they would have no formal duties that day, that they might go about their business.
81 interior illness Noun UNKNOWN A2 3080 3 2 They were far below ground in one of the abbey's interior chambers, so there could be no window. The last few years had been hard on her, one illness after another.
82 cloudless arrangement Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3081 3 2 But there was indeed light inside that room, such a light as to make Avelyn think of a cloudless midsummer day. There were several complaints about this arrangement at first, mostly from the older boys who thought that they
83 practically tomb Adverb Noun UNKNOWN A2 3082 3 2 Jojonah moved into the room, Avelyn practically stumbling behind him. Thus, Elbryan and Pony walked away from Avelyn's chosen grave, from Tuntun's last breath, from Bradwarden's tomb.
84 crystalline everywhere Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN A2 3083 3 2 Avelyn studied the way the light worked off the many facets of the diamonds, how it seemed to delve within the stone itself, swirling down to crystalline depths. Goblins swarmed everywhere, and Pony spotted at least two other giants, fifteen feet tall and perhaps a thousand pounds of chiseled muscle.
85 astronomical vest Adjective Noun UNKNOWN A2 3084 3 2 They studied the Halo, the charts that determined the astronomical data which would indicate the time of the showers. He tore off his overcoat and pulled open his leather vest, quickly unbuttoning the sleeves of his white shirt.
86 girdle aching Noun Adjective UNKNOWN A2 3085 3 2 Perhaps he would shine in the heavens above, a fifth light on the girdle of Progos-Behemoth! Avelyn sighed deeply and put his aching arms into motion.
87 groove figuring Noun UNKNOWN A2 3086 3 2 Looking closer, Avelyn noted grooves in the wall. So Elbryan stood back from it all, figuring it to be one of those dangers for the villagers to work out on their own.
88 offering favorite Noun UNKNOWN A2 3087 3 2 Whatever the man's reasons for offering a different title were not important, Avelyn decided, and so he accepted the name without further question. Master Jojonah talked constantly, though he said nothing of interest - slight remarks about the weather, a storm that had hit twenty years before, the passing of his favorite baker in the town of St.-Mere-Abelle, a surprisingly off-color remark about the man's "lusty" wife.
89 click brilliantly Noun Adverb UNKNOWN A2 3088 3 2 Master Siherton came out of Markwart's room alone, his boots clicking on the floor as he made his way in the direction of the stone room. It filled every corner, every crack in every stone, and reflected brilliantly off the glass covers of the many cases set about the room, and off their contents, as well, hundreds and hundreds of polished stones.
