Hello Mark,
          What happens if you want to explain Turkish (or other) words in
terms of another language? Some dictionaries are not copyrighted.  Others have
taken their words from out-of-copyright material. Do you have the right to use
one or more Turkish dictionaries' definitions as a basis for comparison of
several hundred words?  Would be interested in your opinion. Thanks.
Best regards,
David O'Keefe

Copyrights and "Fair Use":     http://www.templetions.com/brad//copyright.html
"This means that if you are doing things like comment on a copyrighted work, making fun of it,
teaching about it or researching it, you can make some limited use of the work without permission.
For example you can quote excerpts to show how poor the writing quality is. You can teach a
course about T.S. Eliot and quote lines from his poems to the class to do so. Some people think
fair use is a wholesale licence to copy if you don't charge or if you are in  education, and it isn't.
If you want to republish other stuff without permission and think you have  a fair use defence, you
should read the more detailed discussions of the subject you will find through the links above."
