An audit of data already present in our sources but not yet surfaced, plus a real rendering bug fix.

New:

  • Etymology: L&S's <etym> markup (source root or foreign-language origin, e.g. abactor < [abigo]; Abaddir < [Heb. אָב אַדּיִרּ, mighty father]) is now bracketed and styled instead of unmarked plain text.
  • Quoted examples split into three parts: every <cit> (Latin example quote + English gloss + author/work reference) previously flattened into one undifferentiated grey blob now renders as italicized Latin, curly-quoted translation, and small grey reference, distinctly.
  • Subjunctive, imperative, and gerundive added to verb Morphology tables — present for ~80-86% of recognizable verbs in the underlying analyses, shown only where actually attested.
  • Ramshorn "Latin Terminations": 20 new reference entries recovered from ~3,000 lines of front matter (a guide to what Latin suffixes mean, e.g. -tas designates quality) that were previously skipped entirely — look up "Latin Terminations I" through "XXIV".
  • Cross-references styled: L&S's <xr>/<ref> markers (e.g. "v. supra/infra") render distinctly instead of flat text.

Fixed:

  • Allen & Greenough paradigm tables: 260 <table> elements (noun declension charts, sound-classification tables) had no rendering support and collapsed into unreadable run-on text. Now render as real HTML tables.

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