[Skrivan1890] proofreading

Transcript of Latinská synonymika pro školu i dům, Skřivan (1890) contains several dark words in the next articles:

1. #95: full form of praegn. in species?
2. #172: full form of přívl. in ordo?
3. #196: what means bit in manubiæ? (Sparse font is used for Latin words in this dictionary.)
4. #262: what means c. ("acc. c. inf.") in verbum?

Dictionary formats

Main dictionary format of the project is XDXF. GoldenDict is a good choice for desktop users, but mobile users has no good application.

Therefore, I want to know which dictionary application (Android or iOS) you use/prefer and what supplementary formats would be useful to produce for use on mobile devices?

Article Decoding Error

I'm not able to use this dictionary. When I type in a word such as 'amor' I get the error message: 'article decoding error'. I'm using a mac 10.14.3

I have added the files like so:

I am able to search wikipedia articles on GoldenDict, so Goldendict is working, just not the Ramshorn dictionary. I have hit the 'rescan' button. Here is a screenshot of what my app looks like:

I downloaded the dictionary from here:
