Names, tools and terms that recur more than ten times across the Lair. Inflected forms (vampire, vampires) are gathered under one headword. Each entry gives a keyword-in-context line and the pages it turns up on, with a count per page.

Excluded words: Excluded from consideration: articles and pronouns (a, the, I, it, this...), site chrome and navigation labels (Back, Next, Home, Step, Part, Contents, Index), and generic words that would otherwise flood the list without meaning much (Page, User, Server, Website, Guide, Book).
