Thanks for the review, James. In the review you wrote:
<The most obvious change was the addition of roots in parentheses after a word
and the splitting of the root from the prefixes; it reminded me of An
Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon. Personally, I like it, although others may
not. As long as one doesn't try to use the root to shoehorn the definition, I
find knowing the root of a word helpful; that is one feature of the middle
Liddell I always liked.>
Me too. I always want to know the root of a Greek word, not because I think
this has much to do with the meaning, but because I think it helps (me anyway)
remember the word. This is the reason I prefer to use the Middle Liddell,
instead of Cunlife or Autenreich, while reading Homer. This is also one
advantage Thayer has over Bauer. It's the reason I think Trenchard is so
helpful.
