The purpose of this article is to explain the importance to do a dictionary of the nature of Enric Valor’s work as a first step to make a future dictionary of all his lexicon. We have explained the two main aims. The first is to do more accessible and known the work to the contemporary and future readers, particularly for the education of the language and the literature. And the second, pursue with the recovery and diffusion of the lexical heritage of the Catalan of the Valencians initiated by the same teacher of Castalla. It has chosen the lexicon of the nature because it is the vertebral column of the model of language of the writer of Castalla since Enric wanted to recover and rescue of the oblit the mots genuine of the Valencians and these are the ones of the rural field, the ones of the land and elevated them to literary category. In addition, we have offered a small sample of how will be this dictionary with the criteria of preparation, that, in the big majority will follow and will adapt, the ones of the DDLC. And an appendix with some examples to illustrate them.
