In this paper I discuss an seemingly unimportant methodological issue, but one that is of major practical interest in determining how to present examples in an historical dictionary. Th e issue I will discuss is how to represent those words and senses that "disappear" from usage-and consequently from the historical dictionary-for a long period of time, only to reappear at a later point in history. I discuss several examples to show the implications this sort of development has for the history of these words and senses, which suggests that they should be represented in the Academy's historical dictionary in a special way.
