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.
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.
