Re: Dictionary formats

    Kou ascelle:

       bed: lectus, cubile; (in a garden) areola; (of a river) alveus ; to go
     to _: cubitum ire; to make the _: lectum sternere

     Using this example, key words and phrases would be in bold, part of speech
     and explanatory notes in italics, different parts of speech separated by
     Roman numerals:
     bed - I. s. 1. víls (ref. to furniture); go to ~ XXX; make the ~ XXX. 2.
     XXX (ref. to garden). 3. XXX (ref. to river). II. vt. XXX.
     (XXX means either these words do not yet exist or I can't recall them
     without the dictionary here in front of me)  Compounds where the words are
     separated (like "bed and breakfast") would fall under the above entry;
     attached compounds (like "bedroom", "bedclothes") are their own entries.

      Aha! This exactly answers the question I was trying to ask. Thanks!
   Does anyone do anything different from this?
