### Usage

In Kotlin:

```kotlin

import io.github.stscoundrel.oldnorwegian.OldNorwegianDictionary

import io.github.stscoundrel.oldnorwegian.DictionaryEntry

// Whole dictionary of +42 000 entries

val dictionary = OldNorwegianDictionary()

val entries = dictionary.getEntries()

// Dictionaries return entries that consist of headword, part of speech and definition.

println(entries[25000].headword)       // náðuliga

println(entries[25000].partOfSpeech)   // adv

println(entries[25000].definition)     // náðuliga, adv.  1)  i 

```

In Java:

```kotlin

// Imports are the same

import io.github.stscoundrel.oldnorwegian.OldNorwegianDictionary

import io.github.stscoundrel.oldnorwegian.DictionaryEntry

// Fetching dictionary dataset is the similar

OldNorwegianDictionary dictionary = new OldNorwegianDictionary();

List entries = dictionary.getEntries();

// Entry handling is different: Kotlin code uses data classes for entries.

// Therefore, the members of the classes are private in Java.

// Kotlin automatically generates getters for the members that you can use instead.

println(entries[25000].getHeadword())       // náðuliga

println(entries[25000].getPartOfSpeech())   // adv

println(entries[25000].getDefinition())     // náðuliga, adv.  1)  i 

```
