Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Regels of beginselen met betrekking tot gedrag, ethiek of wijsheid, op moraliserende wijze geformuleerd. Vaak verwijst deze term in specifieke zin naar voorschriften met betrekking tot ethiek of wijsheid in Oudengelse verzen, of naar vanzelfsprekende beweringen die als vooronderstelling naar voren worden gebracht binnen een mathematische of dialectische redenering. Er kan enige overlapping optreden tussen deze term en 'aforismen'. 
German ..... In prägnanter Form ausgedrückte Regel oder Prinzip des Verhaltens, der Moral oder Vernunft. Häufig wird diese speziell für Gebote der Moral oder Vernunft in alter englischer Dichtung benutzt oder für selbstverständliche Behauptungen als Prämisse in einer mathematischen oder dialektischen Beweisführung. Der Begriff hat teilweise dieselbe Bedeutung wie "Aphorismus". 
Spanish ..... Reglas o principios de conducta, moralidad o producencia expresados en forma de sentencia. Muchas veces empleado especialmente para preceptos morales o actos de prudencia en versos de inglés antiguo o para propuestas auto-evidentes que se asumen como premisas en matemáticas o de razonamiento dialéctico. El significado de este término se sobrepone de alguna manera con "aforismo".
