Proper nouns are added in a similar way to irregular nouns. At the main "Add to Lexicon" page, after specifying a word to enter, choose the "Add irregular strings to lexicon" button and "Add Info". After a new word is created, or after entering an existing word, WALES will display the "Add Part of Speech Forms" page.

On this page, there are three boxes following "Proper Noun Form" which designate the singular, plural and mass forms. Enter strings in their appropriate boxes. As with the simple nouns, not every form need be specified for each noun. Singular form is the most common for proper nouns.

When done, click on "Update Lexicon" and "Do It". By clicking on "Add other lexical information", you can add denotation assertions.
