[Lexicog] A few Lexique questions

[jamatra9]

First off, I'd like to say how delighted I am with Lexique Pro.  
Thank you, Richard Margetts!  

I transferred a mini dictionary of Inezeño Chumash into Lexique
Pro as a demo yesterday and loved the ease and flexibility of 
playing with the finished file, especially with sound files and 
images.  The native language students who've seen it are also 
delighted.

And there were a few things I wanted to do that I couldn't figure 
out. 

My main question: I don't want EVERY Inezeño entry to show a
reverse gloss, so I used a \re field.  For example, I'd like a 
derivative that shows up twice in Inezeño (once as itself and once 
under the term it's derived from) to show up only once in the
English panel.  And that way the English gloss with \eg can include 
additional info, such as "to be red," rather than just
"red" in the case of stative verbs, to reinforce that it's a
verb and not an English adjective.

Unfortunately, the English sort keeps coming out based on the \eg 
field, so all the verbs show up under "to __" and "to be
__" rather than being based on something like \re see ; look. 
What am I doing wrong here?

Is there a limit on how many example lines with \xv I can use?
I'd like to add several lines of examples and/or discussion after 
certain main entries but they seem to get cut off after two or three 
or even one line.  Is there a way around this?  

Is there a way to format the \bw line so that it displays in 
Unicode?  

On my wish list:  it would be handy if there were a second level of 
subentry.  It would also be useful if there were a second panel of 
user-defined categories, for example for morphological patterns as 
well as for semantic categories.  I'd love to be able to list 
combinations of various adverbal and instrumental verb prefixes plus 
verb root all together by prefix, but at the moment that runs at 
cross-purposes with the semantic categories.  

These questions/suggestions are quite minor compared to my overall 
satisfaction with Lexique Pro, however; it's a great application.

Thanks again, Richard Applegate
