I was thinking about something like this, for Danish et. al.
Adding many more words to a monodix would potentially introduce
worse translations for some homonyms. I would like to rule out new
words where a surface form is a homonym to an already existing surface form. 

That is: I would search thru all surface forms of the new lemmas
and compare them with the existing surface forms, and if a 
homonym is found, I would mark the new lemma with an exception for only the
surface form in question that is should not be used, while all the other
new surface forms will be ok.

Can this be done with what you are suggesting, or with some other means?

best regards
