[Lexicog] question about markers

Thu Mar 20 12:25:34 UTC 2008

Dear Dimitris,
Since Kaboo has no meaning by itself, your entry should be:
\lx kaboo and happy
\ge stoned

you need no \ps since ps is used for words not phrases normally. As for
interlinearizing, just right click on \lx in your dictionary and in the
window that appears, click on the Data type tab and then choose the third
line one item with several words.

 dear friends,                                                                      

 Personally, I don't think I'll need interlinearizing so, maybe this makesit a      
 little easier for me.                                                              

 I have entered 60 records in my lexicon in order to test things and understand     
 better the markers. I have chosen to use \de instead of \ge since I rather give    
 definitions and \de overrides \ge anyway but after reading your posts I think I    
 will go back and add \ge for more complete records.                                

 Note that, in my example, kaboo has no meaning by itself. It is only used in this  
 expression and it is the expression that means 'stoned'.                           

 Is it acceptable to leave the \lx without a \ge and a \de and only supplythe \se   
 with these? (it does seem rational) Like this:                                     

 \lx kaboo                                                                          
 \ps n                                                                              
 \se kaboo and happy                                                                
 \ge stoned                                                                         
 \de ston! ed                                                                       

 Further, I'm still not sure how to get the text 'in the expression'  in the        
 lexicon entry. Remember that I meant to have it like this:                         

 kaboo n in the expression "kaboo and happy" stoned                                 

 Which is the way I've seen it done in quality Greek dictionaries.                  
 thanks for all the discussion :^)
