Dictionary error? Llana

Question

The SpanishDict dictionary says:

llana - 1. word stressed on the last syllable (grammar)

But the DRAE says:

llana - 10. adj. Fon. Dicho de una palabra: Que lleva el acento prosódico en la penúltima sílaba; p. ej., ámbar, imagen, mañana. U. t. c. s.

Lazarus used llana in reference to indios. I'll take the DRAE and Lazarus and give points.

Answer 1

I know it was picked after careful selection, but I often find the SpanishDict dictionary somewhat lacking. I normally like the Oxford Spanish Dictionary, though. When I have a doubt about the SD dictionary, I usually take it to WordReference.com, which has the Concise Oxford Spanish Dictionary, and el DRAE.

Answer 2

Are grave and llana synonymous?

According to this discussion their use may be regional.

Answer 3

so they are synonims right? llana and grave?

Según el DRAE, sí: grave - 9. adj. Fon. Dicho de una palabra: llana. U. t. c. s - KevinB, Aug 22, 2010

No, one uses a tilde to stress the penultimate syllable and one does not. - 0074b507, Aug 22, 2010

I'm just reporting what the D R A E says. I'm no expert. - KevinB, Aug 22, 2010

grave is defined by ending in a vowel, n or s. Not such limitation on llana according to example shown. - 0074b507, Aug 22, 2010

OK. DRAE just uses llana as the complete single-word definition for grave. - KevinB, Aug 22, 2010

I agree, I already looked. - 0074b507, Aug 22, 2010

Answer 4

Wow! I wish I had know that when I corrected Heidita one day. I was going on the assumption that aguda and llana were the same from our dictionary.

Thank you for pointing out the error.

The DRAE says grave = llana, accent on next to last. Aguda = accent on last. - KevinB, Aug 22, 2010

You've convinced me. - 0074b507, Aug 22, 2010
