AP alternate headword issues

I opened akzara and I see in Apte Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary, revised edition, 1957

-BAj a. having a share in the syllables (of a prayer ?). 
-BUmikA tablet; nyastAkzarAmakzaraBUmikAyAm R. 18. 46. 
-muKaH [akzarARi tanmayAni SAstrARi vA muKe yasya] a scholar, student. 
-Kam [za. ta.] the beginning of the alphabet; the letter a. 
-muzwikA ‘finger-speech’, speaking by means of finger-signs. 
-varjita a. unlettered, illiterate, not knowing how to read or write. a. of an epithet of paramAtman. 
-vyaktiH f. [za. ta.] distinct articulation of syllables. 
-SikzA [za. ta.] the science of (mystic) syllables; theory of brahma (brahmatattva); mahyaM °kzAM viDAya Dk. 11. 
-saMsTAnam [akzarARAM saMsTAnaM yatra] arrangement of letters, writing, alphabet.

As I understand that the work done for MW and partly for PWG, has not been done and compounds not formed, right? Because in hwnorm1c I see that akzaraBUmikA:akzaraBUmikA:PD belongs only to PD, but could be Apte as well. And there is no akzarasaMsTAnam at all.

[gasyoun]

Not all are equal. 1) last consonant of base + aḥ, last consonant of base + ā, last consonant of base + m:

-raḥ 
-rā
-ram

2) everything that comes after -Comp.

-cyutakam
-jananī, -tūlikā

(so it's 2, not 1).

I don't think we have indexed sub-entries in any dictionary except MW.

The task is applicable to many dictionaries; I know Odille has wanted this for her favorite Burnouf and Schtoupak dictionaries, for instance.

Our assignment of <div> elements is probably a step towards indexing sub-entries.

I estimate the task to be formidable. Maybe we can reconsider it next year.

But no coding, right? You had done experiments with PWG, can you share the code that was responsible with the roots with prefixes, please? I guess that's a similar task.

Maybe we can reconsider it next year.

I'll be bald-headed by that time. What're the top priorities as you see them now? Would love to see your vision before it's too late in https://github.com/sanskrit-lexicon/CORRECTIONS/issues/181

[funderburkjim]

Have I done coding for PWG for roots with prefixes? Please remind me.

Maybe this is what Marcis is referring to. Not sure.

Seems to be the one, thanks, Dhaval. Could not find it myself in PWG project. A spring cleanup or interlinking might be a good idea.
