I don't claim to be anything close to an expert with FieldWorks, but
are you referring to the export options: 'root-based', 'stem-based',
and 'configured'? As I understand it, I need to decide on a word's
"Entry Type" ("Main Entry" or "Derivation", "Compound", etc.), and if
it's not a "Main Entry" refer it back to the appropriate one with
"Primary Entry References". And then I just choose the export format
and it's all done for me? I guess I have to understand my software
better . . . I guess all that remains is to decide on a citation form;
specifically, whether to include an object suffix (to distinguish, for
example, /gharasu/ 'move' from /gharasua/ 'move something') or not.
Thanks for the input so far!
