I'm working on a dictionary with keys based on the lemma in the MorphGNT
module (which so far has no dictionary support). I am running into two
problems:
1. Since the keys are polytonic Greek, the byte ordering method of
creating the index totally destroys the ordering of the dictionary (same
problem with Vietnamese). BPBible does a reasonable job of dictionary
lookup (so far the only front-end coming near to supporting dictionary
keys in polytonic Greek), but many obvious lookups like anthropos are
thrown off because the words starting with alpha are separated in groups
spread out over several places in the index. Looking back in the
archives, I saw a comment from Troy from October 2007: "Generating a
secondary index on a lexdict which preserves some other order and
alternate key is great idea and an easy addition to the current code."
Has anything been done with this?
2. The use of upper case for the display of keys in front-ends is
totally unnatural. Can I plead that something be done about this? Surely
it is an easy fix, or is it more than a display issue. Not fixing it
makes SWORD totally unfriendly for Koine Greek students...
