<font size="-1"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Just a comment here about
the use of \ge vs \de. If you plan to use Toolbox to produce
interlinearized glossed texts, you should normally use \de under \se
"Subentry" rather than \ge. In the case below, each time "kaboo" is
encountered in a text, the interlinearizer will ask you to choose
between 'normal meaning' and 'stoned,' since it sees two \ge fields in
this record. If you instead enter the meaning of the \se phrase as "\de
stoned", Toolbox interlinear will ignore this when glossing. <br>
<br>
I believe that if you want TB interlinear to recognize and
automatically gloss "kaboo and happy" as 'stoned', you need to enter
the phrase as a separate record under \lx (interlinear ignores \se). TB
is not really very adept at automatically glossing phrases, however,
and if you have any morphology so that the exact phrase string is
variable it won't work at all.<br>
<br>
So my habit is to use \de for all definitions EXCEPT those that I want
the interlinearizer to recognize. In other words, I believe that \ge,
\a, and \u are markers specifically designed for the interlinearizer
rather than for dictionaries. The MDF formatter does, however, pull in
\ge for a dictionary entry if the record contains no \de, thus saving
us from entering single-word definitions twice for each entry.<br>
<br>
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here...<br>
