[B-Greek] Combination Septuagint and Greek NT Lexicon in One Volume?

Could you identify some points at which LSJG's "LXX coverage is seriously inadequate", or clarify what you mean by "seriously inadequate"?
I do see ARQREMBOLON in LSJ, for the word at 4Macc 8:13 and 10:5. LEH indicates A)RTO/S appears only in one verse.

Chamberlain lists 119 of these, most of them dubious or spurious words from variants. One example of a word not listed as dubious is the adjective ORQREMBOLOS, -ON ("dislocating, torturing," 4 Macc 10:5), related to the noun ORQREMBOLON ("instrument of torture," 4 Macc 8:13). Another would be the adj. A)RTO/S, also included in LEH, but which Chamberlain supplements with the substantive meaning, "things accomplished."

Can you name some LXX words not included in LSJG? There are issues with its treatment of some LXX words as if their meaning was derived from the meaning of the Hebrew word, but it's pretty comprehensive (and the supplement ameliorates the problem).

Next year Hendrickson will be releasing a new LXX lexicon by Gary Chamberlain that will be supplemental to BDAG. In other words, it will provide LXX coverage wherever that is lacking in BDAG. I can't quote a price for it yet, but it will be significantly less expensive than the standard LXX lexicons. And btw, the "Big Megillah" does not include everything; at points its LXX coverage is seriously inadequate.

To the best of my knowledge, there are only two lexica which specifically deal 
with the LXX -- (1) Eynkel, Lust and Hauspie, (2) Muraoka.  Much is contained in 
BDAG, but not everything.  It would appear that the Big Megillah is truly the 
only lexicon which includes everything (even though not with the thoroughness of 
BDAG).
