When you were finished with say, the English side, could you
just "flip it around" and have the Hungarian side all done
faster?
That would have been a real life saver, but unfortunately, no, it
didn't work that way. Most words have more than one
meaning, so they would have to be listed under all those
different entries on "the other side". Let me give you an
example:
equivalents, depending on what context you want to use it in
(e.g when talking about a person, or grammar) or what style
you would like to use (coll. = colloquial usage or fig.= figurative
meaning). The same is true for English words. As you can see
in the example, to make things a bit even more complicated, in
English a word may be used as a noun (n), a verb (vt/vi) or an
adjective (a) as well, without changing its form.
In the end, it was easier to simply go and work on two
separate lists on the two different sides of the Dictionary.
