I always use http://dictionary.reference.com/ , |

which is also good for etymology, sometimes important for English meanings. |

In this case, it offered a long list of possible words, incl 'emeries', |
| 11 |
which is the 3rd singular of the verb above. |

The OED is the ultimate source for English words, incl eg US usages. |

It's not free to the general user, but you can usually find access |
| 15 |
or you can buy it in some CD/DVD form. |
