I;ve found that it's not the less used words which I look up but the most 
used.  Sometimes there are nuances which need to be sorted out, and the lexicon 
is helpful in the process.  In a particular context what does EK connote?  That 
is the problem.  Yes, you can gain the facility to read through the GNT 
without use of a lexicon, but do you simply want to read through it or do you want 
to really understand the implications?
