Are böh and buh two words that mean the same thing, or two variations of the same word? If the latter, we have a choice: either treat them as two different words (what's currently being done), or treat them as variations, choosing one as the normative variation (in which case Dir/LR would be used for the other, and they'd have the same lemma).

Additionally, "his/her" probably shouldn't be one of the glossed meanings of bä́t.

@mauraoleary, what was the approach settled on for lemmas of nouns that can't have a bare form?

In case like this, where the dictionary separates the possessive morpheme, the form should omit the possessive morpheme as well as the possessive meaning from the gloss, and then mark the form as "-" bare, so:

bä̀t:bä̀t[-bare] # "belly" - possessed

rather than the current:
bä̀t:bä̀t[-bare] # "belly; his/her" - possessed
