[[File:vrahykataliktos-revised.png|center|LSJ entry for [[βραχυκατάληκτος]] before and after editing]] | |||
In the image above you can see the LSJ entry for [[βραχυκατάληκτος]] before ([http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3Dbraxukata%2Flhktos Perseus version]) and after editing. Note how the shorthand has been expanded and how translations have been sanitized (i.e. from "to end so" to "terminate in a short syllable"). Also, if you see the [[βραχυκατάληκτος|revised entry]], links and prosody have been added (refer to the ''Full diacritics'' form). | |||
==What is LSJ== | |||
The Liddell, Scott, Jones Ancient Greek Lexicon ([[LSJ:GreekEnglishLexicon|LSJ]]) is perhaps the best known Ancient Greek-English dictionary. Here you can find a wiki implementation aiming to massively improve upon the dictionary resources in [[LSJ:About#Objectives|numerous ways]] like '''adding missing translations''' and '''expanding lexicographical shorthand''' into clarity among others. | |||
Different types of [[Help:Contents#Transliterations_and_forms|transliterations and word forms]] were used, so that everyone is happy: '''Ancient Greek scholars''', '''speakers of Modern Greek''', people who prefer '''transliterated Greek''' or [https://www.translatum.gr/converter/beta-code.htm Beta Code]. | Different types of [[Help:Contents#Transliterations_and_forms|transliterations and word forms]] were used, so that everyone is happy: '''Ancient Greek scholars''', '''speakers of Modern Greek''', people who prefer '''transliterated Greek''' or [https://www.translatum.gr/converter/beta-code.htm Beta Code]. | ||
