So, I take it nobody is having problems? Or using it at all? And Rhetorica is really busy?
I'll probably be adding scripting capabilities next, where you can load script files and use filehandles for lexicons and that type of stuff.

Yeah, I think the thing with cognates sounds good. Mallory and Adams actually transliterates Greek and normally-Cyrillic, but every other text I have uses the native orthographies. I'll be trying to reproduce the what the text uses; the final composite will prefer native-orthography representations.

I'll look at my data, think about it hard, and come up with a solution.
Probably each cognate entry will start with the language name abbreviation ([i]Lat, TochA, Grk, OAv, et al.[/i]) followed by the citation form, followed by the gloss; if there are two forms for a single language, I can follow the first entry with a comma and append another form and gloss. Each language entry is terminated with a line break or semicolon.
The real trick will be putting the footnot...

Metathesis Full Release :
I just merged the Metathesis changes into the main development branch. I've added some consistency checks, so SCA should fail during rule compilation if there is a problem with your indices. I actually don't check something I should yet, which is as follows:
[code]
C = p t k
G = b d
N = m n
CN > $2$G1
[/code]Note that [tt]C[/tt] has more elements than [tt]G[/tt]. This is something I should add, but haven't partly because I don't represent this mapping very well ...

I think that's how I'm going to approach LIV. I'll do the headwords and glosses first, and then go back and do the grammatical forms, examples, and then finally footnotes.
I have started going through Mallory and Adams again and making a few corrections to what I have, adding page numbers, and a few notes that I was missing. Also trying to go for a consistent way of representing cognate forms, so that they can be easily processed using regular expressions.

[quote Torco, Conversational Speaker]So i recently realized IPA Zounds is dead... this both means i hadn't conlanged in a long time, and also that all things are fleeting and get washed away by time. I feel like someone being told that their old neighbourhood is now parking space for a shopping mall. [/quote]
Zounds was dead from the start. It used a shitty feature model by default and was totally useless if you didn't want to worry about using features.

It's all a bit rubbish anyway. I've started going through and re-checking my Mallory et Adams work, so I'll probably start from there. And make a list of ontological concepts.

Hah, yeah as far as Sanskrit goes, I agree.
I would either put them in a second workbook or move them somewhere else on the same line; otherwise it just becomes difficult to manage.
Also, this is like... half of one record from LIV. I gave up and badly need to think about my ontology design.

Yes, also because it becomes (minimally) a 3-body system (4 if you count the star), and a 3-body system is the largest for which an analytical solution is possible; it is, however, still very difficult and involves (I think) an infinite power series.
Unless you can treat the mass of one object as negligible, in which case it becomes more manageable.

Yeah, I would advise adding the root for sure; a lot of cognates may not be necessary if we approach this whole thing with the intent of plugging dictionaries together.
Rather than working on LIV heavily, I may switch back to converting the Mallory and Adams data I already have; that contains a fair amount of cognate data itself. Preserving provenance is important, so if you include cognates, I would suggest having a way to indicate which text, and page made the claim.
