It may be worth noting that it is quite possible to begin dictionary work,
and in fact to do virtually all of it, without settling on the writing
system. So long as it is a linguistically adequate system, that is,
one that represents the phonological contrasts of the language, you can
enter and store the data in whichever writing system you choose.
You can then convert your internal representation into whatever writing
system you want to use for publication. In fact, you can produce versions
of the dictionary in more than one writing system if there is demand for
it.
