Hi Aaron,
This sounds a lot like what I'm trying to do with my Hebrew Lexicon:
https://github.com/openscriptures/HebrewLexicon
Here's an example of the way I'm breaking down the information:
H1254a. ??????? b?r??, baw-raw'; [heb; v] a primitive root; ???
(absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed
(as formative processes):---choose, create (creator), cut down,
dispatch, do, make (fat).
BDB: + I ??????? shape, create
Qal Pf.---shape, fashion, create
Niph.---/Pass/. 1. be created 2. with reference to birth 3. of something
new, astonishing
Pi. 1. cut down 2. cut out
TWOT: 278, Page 135, Status: base.
At the top is the basic Strong data. After the BDB is the information
from BDB, which is all I really have available. There is room for other
elements, and you could add data to what is already there. The schema
is contained in the download package, and should be easily transformed
into whatever format is necessary for a SWORD module.
I hope this will give you a better starting point than just the Strong's
dictionary.
Peace,
David
Thanks David! This looks very much like what I want to do for the first
stage of what I'm thinking about. Is it alright if I email you directly
for further information?
Aaron

Another project that sounds like what you are interested in doing is at
http://www.textonline.org/hebrewaramaiclexicon. The project is fairly
dormant right now, but in a year or so I hope to pick it up again and
run with it. We are working from the lemma isolated by the Groves Center
for the Westminster Hebrew Morphology, so when that SWORD module comes
out it will mesh well with it. But we did start with Strongs as a
beginning point for definitions.
Daniel,
This does sound very much like what I am interested in doing, but
unfortunately, you seem to be using WeSay, which appears to have some
deficiencies in it's Linux versions that will make it unusable for
editing a work of this kind (no support for non-latin scripts, and
issues copying and pasting non-ascii characters). I'm afraid that I use
Linux exclusively, and my ability to contribute to this project would be
severely limited.
Blessings,
Aaron
