Adds the classic Latin verb citation form that was missing from the morphology section.

New:

  • Principal Parts callout: every verb entry now leads its Morphology section with the traditional 4-part citation form Latin is taught with — amo, amare, amavi, amatus — built from whichever of {1st sg. present indicative, present infinitive, 1st sg. perfect indicative, perfect passive participle} the Perseus/Morpheus analyses actually attest.
  • Deponent verbs get the correct 3-part form (e.g. sequor, sequi, secutus sum), detected from Lewis & Short's own part-of-speech tag — necessary because Morpheus tags deponent forms grammatically passive despite their active meaning, so voice alone can't distinguish them.
  • Intransitive verbs with no perfect passive participle (e.g. curro) fall back to the future active participle for the 4th part, the standard textbook substitute.
  • The existing full tense/voice indicative grid and infinitives table are unchanged — Principal Parts is a new highlighted line above them, not a replacement.

Installation: unzip and drag LatinDictionary.dictionary into ~/Library/Dictionaries/, then enable "Latin (Lewis & Short)" in Dictionary.app Settings.
