The top panel (which may be empty) contains unprocessed hieroglyphic. The next panel contains the lexical entries. The bottom panel contains several lexica, one per tab.
Navigation in the lexica annotations, is by clicking the frame of one such annotation, or by the left/right arrow buttons. The currently focussed lexical entry has a blue border.
By clicking on a hieroglyph, that hieroglyph and all preceding hieroglyphs are split off and put in the current lexical entry. By selecting (part of) a lemma, information from a lexicon is transferred to the current lexical entry.
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.
