That depends; what's the place structure of the word as you're defining it? In general, there should be at least one keyword for the word as a whole (the gloss word), and a keyword for each place, one per line in the place keywords box. If the meaning of a particular natlang word is constrained (i.e. "bear in the sense of carry"), you put the meaning after a semicolon, i.e. "bear;carry". If that doesn't answer your question, please let me know: the results of our discussion here will be placed in the help in the next version. Note that I'm hoping to obviate the need for all the semicolon malkalci before version 1.0. > The sentence in which the word appears is "ca le prula'i jimdei ku la > birendras. bir. bikram. noi noltrunau .e la .aicuarias noi noltruni'u > .e drata se lanzu cu te facki le za'i morsi .ije la dipendras. noi > seltrucerda cu tolsanji". How much should I give as an example? I'd probably just give the last bit. > Since in this sentence it has only one sumti, should I add one in > which it has all four? Seems like a good idea.
