DICTIONARY

One dictionary, with a visible path from raw candidate to course-ready.

Search across AfroLearn and open dictionary sources in one place. Entries are combined when the word and meaning match, then ranked on a five-tier trust ladder instead of living in permanent separate categories.

TRUST LADDER

Different sources, one promotion path.

Higher tiers add evidence; they do not erase where a word came from. Multiple matching sources can reach Tier 3, but only human review can move an entry into trusted learning tiers.

Search checks both the local headword and English meaning, then ranks matching entries by relevance and trust tier.

HOW CATEGORIES COMBINE

Sources merge; trust must be earned.

Tier 1 generated candidates can gain a reliable dictionary source and become Tier 2. Matching independent sources combine into one Tier 3 entry. A speaker/editor must review the meaning before Tier 4, and publication/audio review can move it to Tier 5. Provenance stays attached at every step, so AfroLearn can eventually operate as one dictionary without flattening confidence differences.
