lexical entry splitting and lumping in Ancient Greek

As mentioned on the call, here's an old paper of mine covering some of the
issues with different splitting and lumping of lexical entries in New
Testament Greek lexicography:

Section 2 has some examples. The "cross-over adjectives" are a particularly
interesting case: basically the neuter form of many adjectives can be used
as a noun meaning a lexically-specific thing that has the adjective's
characteristic. For example, the Ancient Greek adjective for "royal" can be
used in its neuter form as a noun not just meaning a "royal thing" but
specifically "a palace". Different dictionaries will disagree as to whether
these are two lexical entries or one.

But there are other examples too like spelling variations, suppletion. And
as mentioned on the call, there are changes from strong to weak forms of
verbs that happen at different rates in different senses.

PS on the call I also was reminded of Paolo Acquaviva's book "Lexical
Plurals". The entire book is about words whose plurals depend on sense.
