Over-short short definitions

Below an illustration of the kind of thing for which corrections are always welcomed.

As you see in the image, and as you might have imagined for yourself, the current short definition for προεκπίπτω in Logeion is lacking. From the LSJ entry, you can see how these short definitions originally came into being. The first word in bold italics (originally just italics) was harvested automatically from the dictionaries and stored as the short definition. This is unfortunate, but how else were they going to do it? Over the years, quite a few of these definitions have been expanded or otherwise edited, but it often takes students to spot the most glaring errors, simply because they click on more words and genuinely would like a good gloss! So if you see one of these, please drop a line.
