What a row says

The object. Which of the 9 things on the shelf this entry is, and which time round. Each object carries 4 to 18 entries.

Went out. The date it was published. An entry that has not been published prints In the queue instead. 21 are written and waiting.

The lines. How much was said over the object. 21 entries had nothing read over them, and 11 unpublished ones carry four.

The lines

4 lines, 47 words, against a longest of 67 in the corpus.

The headword above is this entry's first spoken line, so the reading starts at line 02 rather than printing the same sentence twice. 40 of the 73 narrated entries do this.
