[Lexicog] Re: how to compile data on proto-language reconstruction

[Rudolph Troike]

It occurs to me that creating separate templates/style sheets for MDF and
Lexique Pro to handle this sort of data would be of use not only for making
historical reconstructions, but for inter-dialectal comparisons to assist
in making automatic translations or deciding whether new translations were
needed. It would be helpful if it were possible to call up the term in one
language (or the source), and see a display of the cognates in related languages
along with their translations (where these differed from the 'head word') in
parallel columns. This would be great for historical reconstruction at
the same time. Native-speaker users would be able to see terms in related
languages if they were interested and wanted to make use of the facility.
