[Lexicog] Idioms and Shoebox/Toolbox

[Susan Gehr]

How do Shoebox/Toolbox users enter idioms in their 
databases?

Here's an idiom from Karuk:

imáan múmaankam
 'day after tomorrow'
Lit. 'tomorrow's big tomorrow'

Would it be 

\lx imáan múmaankam
\ge 'day_after_tomorrow'
\lt tomorrow's big tomorrow

with the \lx field data properties as 'a single item possibly 
consisting of multiple words'?

Are there any consequences to changing the  \lx field data 
properties to 'a single item possibly consisting of multiple words' 
from 'a single word'?
