Abstract: An innovative online Swahili-English dictionary project is presented. A careful study of some of the log files attached to this reference work reveals some hitherto unknown aspects of true dictionary look-up behaviour, which results in the depreciation of the importance of corpora for dictionary making. Three lexicography software modules are advanced to further enhance the success of the online dictionary.
