Oh, I should have suggested, rather than "pronunciation", that there
be beta, transliteration,and phonetic fields.

Fields=Strongs,LexForm,Pronunciation,Etymology,Definition
LexLang=Greek
My idea is that the "Fields" entry would consist of a comma-separated
list of fields in the lexicon, and that the "LexLang" item would indicate the
language of the LexForm field.
The list of fields was derived simply by looking at entry 5624 in the
StrongsRealGreek dictionary; the "Strongs" entry indicates the Strongs number
(5624), the LexForm entry would indicate the lexical form (ὠφέλιμος), the
Pronunciation entry would contain the pronunciation data which appears, the
"Etymology" entry would contain "from a form of 3786", and the Definition
field would contain the definition.
All of this would, if I understand correctly, replace the GreekDef
and HebrewDef options. The advantage of doing it this way is that indicies
could be generated on multiple fields, so that a text that links to strongs
numbers could do so, but a text that instead has morphological tagging
linking to lexical forms could also do that. It would also be possible for
people to look up words in their lexica using either the word, or the strongs
number.
Has anything like this been considered?
:)
