When explaining the meaning of achives, this dictionary fully takes this into account, both pointing out the original meaning of the achives and the meaning used in practice. This is an important feature of the book. From a formal perspective, the two parts of an achive are simply listed in a plane, but in terms of meaning, the functions of the two parts are not equal.
