dictionary entries



Hi Rick,
I noticed that very often the meaning of a modifier is very precise, not vague. In this case it would be very, very useful to have the meaning underlined, or something similar.
Here an example:
 
dwace - old, aged, antiquated. [antonym] [index]
See also bitya and zyafo.
[Etym: old/slow/dense/clumsy/immobile + measurable physical state]

So, let's underline "old":
[Etym: _old_/slow/dense/clumsy/immobile + measurable physical state]
 
dwacu - flaccid, limp, slack, flabby. [antonym] [index]
[Etym: old/slow/dense/_clumsy_/_immobile_ + opposite of other binary non-relational state]
 
Respectively, the etymology entry could simple contain the meaning of the modifier with the -ke, -faw and so suffixes attached, listed in a row.
 
Regards,
Stephan
