Manual of Lexicon Editor

Several lexica may be available, accessible by selecting different tabs. For a selected lexicon, one can search in a number of ways, by filling in the fields for hieroglyphic (not fully functional at this time), for transliteration, for translation and/or for form. Then one can type Enter or click the search button.

One can use Java regular expressions. By default, the typed pattern is complemented by a following .* so that the emphasis is on matching a pattern to a prefix of a record. For example, if one fills in .*ea in the translation field, then this is completed to .*ea.* so that it would match heaven and great.

By right-clicking on the first line of a lemma, the Lemma Editor is opened for that lemma.
