How to
Each range page lists the entries a dictionary prints on twenty of its pages, in order, and what kaphtor's semitic_roots.json does with each.
Columns
- Entry: the entry's id, the book's siglum, the PDF page and its place on that page (
halot:p0100#1). - Headword: the entry's headword as the book prints it.
- Kind: what the book's index files it as: a word, a root, a name, a place.
- Status: the entry's verdict, below.
- Lane, Worker, Date: the review that recorded the verdict.

A recorded verdict is one of these:

present_uncited (row N) names the row that holds the material.
What this copy leaves out
The private wiki gives each verdict with the reviewer's reason, which quotes or paraphrases the entry: its glosses, abbreviations and the scholars it credits. Most of these dictionaries are under copyright, so this copy gives the verdict alone, and leaves out the notes under each range page. Headwords stay: each is a word of the language, as the root pages of the Linear A Lexicon print them.
