Where does Lexique Pro get the words from to build the English index?
1. If the entry contains no \re reversal fields, Lexique Pro takes the English straight from the gloss field (normally \ge). e.g. \lx bileman \ps adj \ge red ; brown \de red or brown in colour —> “red” and “brown” appear in the English list 2. If the entry contains a reversal field \re, Lexique Pro uses this data rather than the gloss field. e.g. \lx bilen \ps v \ge to make red ; redden \re red, to make ; redden —> “red, to make” and “redden” appear in the English list. 3. If the reversal field contains an asterisk, \re *, the entry is not included in the reversal. \lx abikili \ps n \ge type of fish \re * —> this entry does not appear in the English list.
