This is a very basic first attempt at an entry for 'de' which, Lou has just informed me, is missing from the dictionary ... on the positive side, we do have 'angiosperma' and 'palinologia' (whatever the heck that is)

[prep]

1. of
Ajuntament de Barcelona - Barcelona City Council (literally - 'City Council of Barcelona')
Plànol de la ciutat - Map of the city / city map
Té un mànec de fusta - It has a wood(en) handle (literally - 'It has a handle of wood')

2. from

+<engnote>When followed by a vowel or the letter 'h', 'de' contracts to d'</engnote>

David Gimeno i Ayuso - 06/Jun/08 02:47 PM
+<engnote>Unless it is followed by the nice weak pronoun "en", in which case it contracts to "de'n"</engnote>
+<engnote>The article "en" is different from the weak pronoun "en" and "de" contracts to "d'en", as usual</engnote>

La primera nota d'en David no l'entenc. La combinació "de" (preposició)+ "en" (pronom feble) no és possible mai, i mai no es fa "de'n". La segona sí: "de" (preposició) + "en" (article)= d'en.
