I ran some queries on where we have placed <note> elements thus far, and concluded that they should be rendered as follows in the print dictionary output.

1) Cultural, comparative, and editorial notes should appear in the print dictionary, and on the website. (Internal, referToEwa, and referToElders notes should NOT appear in the print dictionary, nor on the website.)

2) Render these elements immediately followed by all the (immediate child) <note>s they contain:

entry (some editorial notes that begin with a non-English word begin with a small letter)
form (some editorial notes that begin with a non-English word begin with a small letter)
sense
def
def:seg
cit
quote:seg

3) A <note> inside a <pron> should be rendered after its preceding-sibling <seg> and <bibl> pair. If there is no <bibl>, render the note after its preceding-sibling <seg>.

Similarly, a note inside a <quote> should be rendered after its preceding-sibling <seg> and <bibl> pair, or <phr> and <bibl> pair.

4) <note>s should never appear within these elements. (I have added this reminder to the Dictionary Editing Manual.)

div
pron:seg
hyph
xr

5) I also tried to standardize the formatting of <note>s to begin with a capital letter and end with a period. However ...

-Most comparative notes have the form <note type="comparative" resp="psn:MDK">CA. {a Coeur d'Alene word}</note>. They do not currently end with a period. MDH, can you please do this globally if you think it is necessary?

-There are 4036 editorial notes in the database, of which 1688 are "Meaning unclear." and 1560 are "Root entry added based on attested complex forms." MDH, can you help narrow down the finding and fixing of initial capitals and final periods in the other 788 editorial notes??

6) I have not tried to formalize or summarize MDK or EB's language in the cultural notes. I think we should render them in smaller type, and mention in the introduction that these are reproduced exactly as collected / contributed. This is consistent with what other dictionaries have done.

7) Delimit <note>s with « ».
