+
+    block
+        The unit of decompression, stored within a chunk. Blocks are sized to
+        fit CPU caches, typically 32-512KB.
+
+    BUCKET
+        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
+        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
+
+    chunk
+        The unit of storage and compression, stored within a SChunk. Chunks are
+        sized to fit disk/network I/O, typically 1-64MB.
+
+    clevel
+        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod

+    codec (:class:`API <blosc2.Codec>`)
+        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
+        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
+
+    compression parameters (:class:`API <blosc2.CParams>`)
+        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
+        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
+
+    CTable (:ref:`API <CTable>`)
+        A columnar table for structured data. Columns are stored, compressed, and
+        queried independently, with SUMMARY indexes available by default. Use with
+        structured data that benefits from compression, speed, and persistence.
+
+    filters (:class:`API <blosc2.Filter>`)
+        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
+        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
+
+    frame
+        A serialized format for storing chunks along with a header and trailer for
+        metadata. Frames may be contiguous (CFrame) or sparse (SFrame).
+
+    FULL
+        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
+        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
+
+    LazyArray (:ref:`API <LazyArray>`)
+        API to store an expression or function and delay computation until the
+        value is explicitly requested. Executes and stores results chunk-by-chunk.
+
+    LaxyExpr (:ref:`API <LazyExpr>`)
+        Object that stores an expression consisting of at least one NDArray
+        object. Follows the LazyArray API for storage and deferred computation.
+
+    NDArray (:ref:`API <NDArray>`)
+        A compressed, chunked multidimensional data array. Supports NumPy-like
+        slicing and broadcasting, and out-of-core computation. Backed by an SChunk.
+        Use for array workloads, especially when too large to fit in memory
+        uncompressed.
+
+    OPSI
+        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
+        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
+
+    PARTIAL
+        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
+        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
+
+    SChunk (:ref:`API <SChunk>`)
+        The foundational container for managing a sequence of individual,
+        compressed chunks. NDArrays and CTable columns are built on top of SChunk.
+        Use when you want to directly manipulate raw compresesd data and metadata.
+
+    subblock
+        An indexing segment within a block. One eighth the length of a block.
+
+    SUMMARY
+        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
+        tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
