Dear lexicographers :^)<br><br>I am studying a couple of dictionaries in order to understand the way lexicon entries are made up. I'd like to bring to your attention the following:<br><br><b>A]</b><br>I will give an example of a record that I came across in a major Greek dictionary and made me wonder about the best way to mark it according to MDF that will eventually lead to the following output:<br> <br><font color="#0000bf"><b>embodhizo</b> and (inf.) <b>mbodhizo</b> <i>v. trans. and intrans.</i> {embodhis-a, -tika} <b>1.</b> (trans.) first_meaning <b>2.</b> (intrans.) second_meaning: <i>example</i></font><br><br>(I transliterate and simplify the entry here)<br><br>Note:<br>1) the verb has two forms, one of them informal.<br>2) the verb can be used both as transitive and intransitive. This is noted exactly after the lexeme, obviously as a \ps but then, we get to see between parentheses, which instance concerns each sense.<br>3) between braces we see grammatical notes about the declension of the verb (or the noun in other entries)<br>4) small detail: I like the way the column character introduces the example after the definition.<br><br>How do you think one should handle such a record in order to get the above output?<br><br><b>B]</b><br>Further, I like the way verbs, nouns, and adjectives are being introduced in this dictionary. Watch:<br><br><font color="#0000bf"><b>euros</b> (to)<br><b>eurys</b> -eia -y<br><b>euryno</b> <i>v. trans.</i></font><br><br>Where:<br>5) euros is a noun but for nouns this dictionary rather notes the article (<b><font color="#0000bf"><i>o</i></font></b>, <font color="#0000bf"><i><b>i</b> </i></font>or <b><font color="#0000bf"><i>to</i></font></b>). The article denotes a noun but it is not actually the lexeme's ps. I've searched the MDF documentation but didn't see a marker for articles.<br>6) for adjectives, like eurys, instead of adj. it rather notes the suffices of the grammatical genders. Again, these denote an adjective but are not actually a ps.<br>7) in other lemmata like
verbs (euryno in this example) a pure ps follows the lexeme.<br><br>Do you think there is a way to handle this with Toolbox and MDF markers?<br><br>I hope I'm not tiring you :^)<br>Dimitris<br>
