[Lexicog] little words...

[koocachoo_de]

Hey at all!

As I posted a while ago, I'm working on a markup language (ML) for
dictionaries (http://gml.gidoo.de/). In this ML, I have elements that
replace common words in dictionaries. Like "en.sth" for "something".
The advantage is, that the user can decide whether he likes to see
"something" or "sth" or whatever.

What I've got so far:

English
- en.sb  somebody (sb)
- en.sth something (sth)

French
- fr.qc  quelque chose (qc, qqc)
- fr.qn  quelqu'un (qn, qqn)

German
- de.etw etwas (et, etw)
- de.j   jemand (j)
- de.j-m jemandem (j-m)
- de.j-n jemanden (j-n)

Since there a lot more languages, I'm turning to you: What do
"something" and "somebody" mean on other languages?

Thanks in advance!
