Lexicography Redefined

Beyond the classical approach to lexicography, LexiQamus builds a two-tiered   digital infrastructure directly on the original copy.
It processes words in three categories: Headword Subheadwords Related Words
Headword

The headword head, listed alphabetically in the dictionary, with its spelling, pronunciation, and meaning provided.

حركت ارض
hareket-i arz
بلا حركت
bilâ hareket
حركت اضافيه
hareket-i izâfiyye
Subheadwords

Compound phrases, idioms, and compound verbs formed with the headword, found within the entry's definition.
