The 1891 edition of the Monro Grammar is available under a CC license as HTML at https://dcc.dickinson.edu/grammar/monro/introduction-and-definitions. This contains many quotations and citations, linking particular words/phrases/passages to particular grammatical categories. It is an enormous grammatical commentary -- or can be if inverted and made visible to the reader of Homer.

There are two questions here:

  1. How to format this information in XML. This may involve addition of more fine-grained citations so that we can present smaller, more targeted chunks of information.
  2. How to integrate this into BT.

Converting to something semantic could be quite the task! (Reminds me of my efforts on https://jtauber.github.io/gothica/wright-1910-grammar/ )

Some incremental work could be achieved, though, I think.
