[[File:vrahykataliktos-revised.png|center|LSJ entry for [[βραχυκατάληκτος]] before and after editing]] | [[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 new translations have been '''added''' (i.e. '''βραχυκαταλήκτως''' = '''with the final syllable short''') and others '''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). Perseus's links—due to the unsafe method of using prosody marks within the actual lemma content—are often broken (i.e. the βρα^χυ^-καταληκτέω link). | 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.

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. | The Liddell, Scott, Jones Ancient Greek Lexicon ([[LSJ:GreekEnglishLexicon|LSJ]]) is perhaps the best known Ancient Greek-English dictionary.
