How to treat words that belong to multiple cognate sets

[martino-vic]

Had erroneously opened a lexibank issue in the cldf repo (cldf/cldf#129), so am tranferring it to here now.

If I understood the answer correctly, words that belong to multiple cognate sets should be treated the following way (minimal example):

Form	Cognacy
bű	1
bűbáj	1
báj	2
bűbáj	2

supposing the etymology of bűbáj is being a compound from bű + báj

Would this be correct?

I would suggest to use partial cognate coding: multiple cognate sets in this form are never transparent, and I strongly suggest to avoid them (see our discussion here).
