Extracting the following points from #1443 into a new issue for @HumorBaby so they don't get lost.

  • handle multiple etymologies of a given word, e.g. looking up punt only gives the nautical term and skips over the following rugby/football sense
    • unsure if this kind of thing used to work and broke/changed, or just no one noticed until now
    • bonus points for making the .ety command handle multiple etymologies too
  • output IPA pronunciation when available?
  • give sub-definitions like those for -able their own sub-number (e.g., 1a., 1b., ...)
    • also note that as of 2020-10-04 not all sub-defs get output for this entry
  • update output formatting to be smarter about sub-definitions and such
  • reorder parts of speech list so that definitions can be prioritized… it would be a shame if some obscure circumposition (A circumposition is a discontinuous adposition… um wat?) definition led to the more common verb definition being truncated.

Lightly edited, nothing more. As far as I know, this is the full remaining extent of improvements @HumorBaby was/is planning to make to the wiktionary module for Sopel 7.

Edit (2020-10-04): Added multiple etymologies, missing sub-definitions, various tweaks—and moved target to Sopel 8.

Given how busy @HumorBaby has been recently, this has a vanishingly small chance of being done for 7.0. It's a straight enhancement, nothing more, so I'm fine waiting on it.

Cleared @HumorBaby as assignee, since he's been very busy lately. This is up for grabs if anyone has the itch to work on it.
