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''' (even standard Latin abbreviations are made transparent, i.e. [[falsa lectio|f.l.]] and [[sub verbo|s.v.]] are linked) and how new translations have been '''added''' (i.e. '''βραχυκαταλήκτως''' = '''with the final syllable short''') and others '''sanitized''' in a format that is clear and [[LSJ:About#Reversal|reversal friendly ]] (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).
