When glossing of the Corpus NGT started in 2007, there was no lexicon at our disposal to base ID-glosses on. Semantic labels were used without ensuring a constant relationship between sign form and gloss. This is currently being repaired by creating a lexicon from scratch alongside with the creation of new annotations. This substantial task is still in progress, but promises to lead to several new research avenues for the future. The current paper describes some of the choices that were made in the process, and specifies some of the glossing conventions that were used.
