Greetings everyone,
my work orients around having to read classical Greek and Latin, and looking up etymologies of different words. For basic quick searches, I appeal to wiktionary.org and their huge library definitions, however for more advanced contexts I might have to use something like LSJ.gr or BRILL Ancient dictionaries. I lack any technical ability but I’m curious if it would be possible to make accessible any etymological dictionaries, and lexicons of ancient languages on PopClip.

Any attention and contribution to solving this is greatly appreciated, thanks everyone!

Try it out:
δημοκρατία

How do you access the The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek Online? I found no way to access it using some simple search query.
It is quite easy to build PopClip actions for other dictionary sites, have a look at Snippets — PopClip Developer.

Okey…this was mind blowing, I’ll experiment a bit and report back
This is a very useful snippet. The LSJ site is very helpful because it has a lot of useful information. By any chance, how can I create a snippet that converts selected Greek into the Transliteration C format found on the LSJ site? It would be great if I could convert “δημοκρατία” to “dimokratia”.
[Edit] Downloaded BulgarianPhoneticLatinSwitcher.popclipextz extension and modified it for personal use. Thank you.
