[Lexicog] marking semantic domain subcategories

[Wayne Leman]

Sure, Mike. Superordinate categories and subordinate categories, for
instance. I am only aware of a single \sd (semantic domain) field for
Shoebox and Toolbox. There may be some way to indicate semantic domain
hierarchy that I don't know about. We should, for instance, not only be able
within Lexique Pro to pull up all horses from our \sd horse fields, but also
when we do so, we should be able to tell from the Lexique Pro display of the
database markers that the horse semantic domain is a subcategory of the
animals domain. Currently, I can mark more than one semantic domain for a
lexical entry, but I have no way of showing any semantic relationship or
hierarchy between multiple semantic domains for a record.
