Dear Hayim,

This is exactly what I do when marking up the Dictionnaire Universel in its 1701 edition. I have many such formulae, as well as proverbs and collocations. I prefer to use a very loose categorization using type so that others scholars can then reclassify and specify in line with their own needs and interpretations. I have been working on collocation and idioms so long that I am wary of any top-down categorisation.

Best wishes

Geoffrey
