I noticed this edit of yours where you add P1343 by SAOB. Can going to the identifier for a certain word(talking generally about all words described on SAOB) help an editor add any data to Lexemes? I'm not talking about a problem but I'm trying to have a discussion about if SAOB is of any use to me in my edits or if I should just ignore it?('copyrighted resources = not resources' is my kind of thinking) ~~~~

Hey! Thank you for the question. Most of SAOB is actually rather old (first volume published 1898) and therefore I understand the printed volumes are not protected, though the website may be protected by database rights. I basically only use it to connect existing lexemes and lexemes I have created based on my own understanding of the language. I sometimes also use it as a reference for etymology, but that’s about it.

For a user, the identifier and ability to click through to the source can definitely have value as this is the most comprehensive dictionary of the Swedish language.
