Dictionary listing question



Okay, so there hasn't been too much activity here and I figured it 
was as good a place as any to ask this question...

I'm not too familiar with Arabic, but I've read a few short pages 
about an Arabic-esque morphology for conlangs.  So, if one were to do 
this, how would you list the words?  For instance, if the word "base" 
was ntk which produced several other words, including; natak, netek, 
nitik, neotek, niatok, etc., would the word base be listed as the 
dicitonary entry, with all the supporting variations?  Or, would each 
variation be listed separately?  Or, are people used to looking up 
the base verb/noun to find all the variations under it?

Suggestions more than welcome!  
Thanks,
Jim
