Mark, when do you plan to do reverse lexicons for your conlangs, like you did with verdurian? At the moment it's a pain to find a word. Or is there another way?

I assume you mean English-X dictionaries rather than rhyming dictionaries?

I almost always consult them electronically, so that a search on an English word works fine. And English-X dictionaries would make the update process even more of a hassle.

If anyone else wants to compile them, though, that would be fine...

How do you search for a word?
