I found Jim and Barndon’s comments particularly helpful, but what I haven’t seen anywhere yet is a discussion whether this revision is an updating or a reworking. [...]

I use paper editions of lexicons and the like even though some such tools are usually included (albeit in a less than completely useful form).

Is there a complete version of HALOT available with network licenses available for libraries without a lot of other stuff included that no one really needs?

I know it is always better to have the print version, but an E-HALOT with a good interface and open access to registered students (whether at home or on campus) may be the best compromise, if such a thing is available to complement a cheap pocket lexicon for last minute, homework on the bus.

Cheers,
Jim Linville

I suspect you are correct—if and when it appears :) I wish they would write a few more grammars, though, instead of redoing BDB.

But I don’t know that the revised version will be nearly as expensive as HALOT since that was published as a multi-volume lexicon by Brill(!).

I wrote another blog post on the revision if your interested:
