Dear Andrew and all contributors to this thread, I can't thank you enough for your help. I have designed the project layout and will share it with you soon once students start working on it. I am looking for a way to compile lemmas that are absent in the Arabic Wiktionary in certain categories like medicine and psychology. Do we use a Wikidata query for this? Does anybody have a query already?
