Vocabulary is grouped into thematic sections (heaven, earth, humans, animals, qualities) so that a writer seeking a word starts from the concept and arrives at its many names, rather than starting from the word. This ordering treats meaning as the primary index and spelling as secondary, inverting the alphabetical dictionary's logic.
A dedicated section collects words that carry multiple unrelated meanings, listing each term alongside its divergent senses so a reader can disambiguate by context. This treats a single surface form as a bundle of distinct meanings that must be separated deliberately, not assumed.
The thesaurus is composed in metrical verse so that its word-lists can be committed to memory and recited, making the reference portable without a physical text. Casting structured reference data into rhythmic form is treated as a storage and retrieval technology for an oral-scholarly culture.
