>How about a concordance? This could be a kind of a dictionary made up of partial intuitive descriptions of the term involved, with details related to relationships, culture, communication, various perceptions, etc. For instance, if one has ready access to all the instances where the word γυνή is used in the GNT in the form of meaningful phrases or sentences, one can in fact rapidly read the "encyclopaedia" of that GNT word. In my case, for instance, whenever I need to know more about a certain word, after having checked whatever dictionaries and lexicons are available to me, I feel the need to read more and more passages where the same word is used and in so doing I get a more comprehensive understanding of the respective word.

Concordances are sometimes the most useful of lexical aids and
they exist for the GNT in print and electronic media.

the hard copy concordance to Josephus does some of the thing
that you requested. Each entry has a brief lexical description in
English and German.

EvenShoshan for the Hebrew Bible is great because it does
include a brief description of the word in Hebrew as well as
a 'semantic field' reference where sysnonyms or closely
associated words are listed or cross-referenced. this is
why I recommend to our students to buy a hard copy
EvenShoshan, even if they already own an electronic
searching engine or electronic concordance. EvenShoshan
provides inside information and referencing.
