propose that the header alternative forms be moved below; far too conspicuous right now. etymology and pronunciation as well? POS and definitions are probably the most important (i.e. sought after) pieces of information.

Ideas which I'm thoroughly incapable of implementing myself

enable some new "Preferences"
- favorite order of grammatical cases in declension tables
- favorite ordering of senses: chronological/etymological (obsolete senses first), or practical (most common senses first)
- two versions of each entry: a linguistic one (etymology header first; uses of labels such as (ergative), etc.); a simpler one, oriented towards language learners. But they have to depend from each other; data for the simpler one automatically extracted from the linguistic?
allow simultaneous output of transcription and transliteration
be able to invoke individual Swadesh lists in comparative pages (Swadesh lists for families)
is there a way to "cross" categories between them easily? How much are subcats needed?

~~this revision~~
~~find all lemmas that don't use {{grc-IPA}} yet; these are often old entries. See also: Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:tracking/IPA/grc~~
~~The same principle applies to the predecessors of {{grc-decl}}. There will surely be regressions and mistakes, but {{grc-decl}} is the only wieldy template, and the only long-term solution.~~
~~There are 0 transclusions of {{grc-ipa-rows}}. It's a very unwieldy template. Let's convert all the instances to {{grc-IPA}}, and then we can work on the latter's output, inconsistencies, etc.~~
