Has anyone suggested the following fields in conf files for
lexica/dictionaries/etc?
Fields=Strongs,LexForm,Pronunciation,Etymology,Definition
LexLang=Greek
My idea is that the "Fields" entry would consist of a
comma-separated list of fields in the lexicon, and that the "LexLang" item
would indicate the language of the LexForm field.
The list of fields was derived simply by looking at entry 5624 in the
StrongsRealGreek dictionary; the "Strongs" entry indicates the Strongs number
(5624), the LexForm entry would indicate the lexical form (ὠφέλιμος), the
Pronunciation entry would contain the pronunciation data which appears, the
"Etymology" entry would contain "from a form of 3786", and the Definition
field would contain the definition.
All of this would, if I understand correctly, replace the GreekDef and
HebrewDef options. The advantage of doing it this way is that indicies could
be generated on multiple fields, so that a text that links to strongs numbers
could do so, but a text that instead has morphological tagging linking to
lexical forms could also do that. It would also be possible for people to
look up words in their lexica using either the word, or the strongs number.
Has anything like this been considered?
