I'm happy to post here, especially since I can't see moving this project
out of orgmode.

Could you post an example?
Here's a sample of my second iteration. A poor man's database - still
pure orgmode and still plain text, but easily parsable:
- main word|subordinate word, subdivided into grammatical relations A, B, C,
&c.
- identification
- main form :: Abbacy
- obsolete † :: no
- non-naturalized ‖ :: no
- pronunciation :: æ•băsi
- part of speech :: substantive
- specification :: none
- status :: default
- spellings :: 5-6 abbasy, 6-7 abbacie
- inflections :: none
- [morphology]
- derivation (etymology) :: A modification of the earlier
ABBATIE, assimilated to forms like prelacy, mediaeval Latin
-acia, -atia.
- subsequent form-history ::
- miscellaneous facts ::
- TODO: significations & illustrative quotations

That describes most of my uses of orgmode - thanks!
