Example sentences for: waterless

How can you use “waterless” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • If we can sort out all the details here—no mean task—it emerges that W9 's vocabulary entries include both what I earlier called main entries (like watershed ) and what I called subentries (like waterless in CED ). But it appears that Longman's headwords are only those that are, or introduce, main entries.

  • On the other hand, the shared main entry for watershed has twenty-three words in CED but 93 in Cobuild . And the word waterless is a main entry in Cobuild , explained in twenty words, whereas in CED it is naught but a so-called “undefined runon”—merely mentioned, but not explained explicitly, as a sub-entry at water . So CED enters more items than Cobuild , but devotes less space to explaining them.
