A careful estimate indicates that the TBDNE contains about 9,000 headwords with an additional 2,000 or so other entry words; of these 11,000 or so entries, some 2,300 (about 21%) are phrasal.
In all this talk about entries, it must be remembered that the (accepted) practice in counting dictionary entries in the U.S. (and becoming the standard in the U.K. as well) is to count not only headwords, or main entries, but inflected forms, variants, changes in part of speech, run-on words (like cunningly and cunningness under cunning ), and list words (like reaccuse and reacquire ), which need no definition.
Also, the alphabetical order might prove a bit off-putting for some, for phrasal verbs are set flush left with a hanging indention (like headwords) immediately after the main verb: for instance, take , which has fifteen main entries of its own (for reasons we shall get to), is followed by headword-style entries for take after, take against , etc., through take up with ; it is only then that one reaches the entry for takeaway .
