The on reading I understand. But the Kun has multiple entries and they are separated like this (using AA to represent the hiragana) AA, A, AAA. A

I don’t understand what the commas and periods are separating.

i was assuming that each one was a different reading/ meaning for the kanji, am I close?

I can repost the hiragana later if it’ll help this make more sense. Thanks ahead of time!

IE: 全て which is すべて so it would be すべ.て ..The comma just means those are several readings for the same kanji.

Hope I explained that okay.
