The dictionary of Ahmet Vefik Pasha named Lehçe-i Osmânî (LO) is known in the Ottoman Empire as the first dictionary that compiles the head words from Turkish words and describes their definitions in Turkish. Vefik Pasha succeeded in impressing his contemporary and follower dictionary writers in many ways with his dictionary, which includes many innovations for his period (Toparlı, 2000: VII; Akün, 2003: 128).

Especially the last one is used for terms belonging to other fields. For this purpose, first of all, the referenced muvelled words in LO were compiled from the original text by making use of Paketli (2007) and the volume and page number and orthographies were recorded together. It can be seen more clearly that some words are ...
