<<Anchor(monadic)>> and <<Anchor(dyadic)>> it will be. My antennae tell me to opt for consistency too.

Originally I was for cramming all the statutory info into the subpage header: part of speech, valence, rank... But now I view the result, I see what you mean. When it comes to a construct like == HDR == the "pallette" of what you can put in HDR -- tabs, icons, formatting -- is exceptionally starved. Maybe there are reasons for that. Rather than fight it, I infer from the raw text of /greaterthan./ that the way forward is to have ||tables|| wherever statutory info has to be displayed. Can we have our own macros, c/f/ <<TableOfContents>>, to mop up all those breadcrumbs they sprinkle? Our ideas for a template risk turning "MoinMoin" into "PlusPlus". But heck, I guess it doesn't matter if the entire set of stubs is only going to be [re]generated once (or twice...)
