Well known references books (such as major dictionaries and encyclopedias) are normally cited only in notes and not in the bibliography (as with note 1). They are also cited in an abbreviated form in notes.
Other works should be cited in full as books (as with note 2) or, with substantial, authored entries as contributions to a multiauthor book (as with note 3).
References to alphabetized entries are preceded by s.v. (singular) or s.vv. (plural) for sub verbo meaning "under the word."
