I think the Barclay Newman _A Concise Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament_ would come about as close as any to this.  I believe it's the one bound with the UBS4.

Dear Sir,

Is there such a thing as a NT Greek lexicon which gives only a generic meaning to each entry? A generic Greek lexicon that simply puts you into the ballpark without consideration of contextual extensions (meanings that are context sensitive). One which would derive the generic meaning from usage (say, if a given word is used 86 times in the NT and 69 ot these times it has essentially the same meaniing and possibly the same translation) thus the generic meaning would be determined by a simple majority of 69 outof 86. The other meanings can fend for themselves. I am looking for such a list or such a book even though most lexica do give something of a generic meaning at the first of an entry. Looking for something simpler than standard lexicography just to get general, majority meanings.
