Let's say you are using a proper French dictionary (I use http://atilf.atilf.fr/). For an entry of any typical word, naturally you would find many abbreviations, e.g. “subst. masc.”, “p. ext”, etc. (I am taking the first word of that dictionary here). I would like to know whether there is a list of all these abbreviations expanded (either in general or for this dictionary in particular).

    Any good dictionary should explain them in its preamble, but I can’t find them on the TLFi website.

    The CNRTL has an usually more reliable TLFi, by the way.
