I thank you for your answer. I thank you for your clarifications. 44262 lexemes are a limited output. That is why I asked if we can merge public domain ontologies in Wikidata to let the process more efficient. In fact, if we integrate the public domain ontology for Portuguese into LexData, we can have more than 40000 Portuguese lexemes added into Wikidata. Then, portuguese users can work to enrich the input.

> Currently, there are nearly 8000 lexemes in Wikidata.

There is, right now, 44262 lexemes entity (query: http://tinyurl.com/y692kszu), including 42 in Portuguese (query: http://tinyurl.com/y2f3636e) and in a total of 321 languages (it already is one of the biggest database if you count the number of languages).

In total, there is 120 391 forms for these 44k+ lexemes (query:http://tinyurl.com/y5xudhwg far from the biggest databases but already an impressive number as almost everything has been done by hand and in less than a year!).

> If there is not a person who can work to change this situation, it will take years to let LexData represent the main ten languages including Portuguese.

There is already a lot of person working on Lexemes in Wikidata (I'm actually working on Breton).

But true, there is also a lot to do!

You're welcome to join us, the project page is here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_data.
