>>
>>  (h) grammar notes - this is a place in which you can explain what kind

>>
>>  (i) inflected forms - if you are treating inflected forms of a certain
>> category together, it may still be useful to record individual inflected
>> forms as part of the entry. For example, you might want to have fields for
>> the various possessed forms of nouns, or plurals, or vocatives if your
>> language has such things, especially when they are irregular.
>>
>>  (j) data sources - where does the information come from? In addition to

>> group or of anonymous authorship.
>>
>>  (k) etymology - where does the word come from?
