Hello,
I'm looking for a dictionary/lexicon in print similar to what I've used in my Latin and Greek courses. When looking up a word, the dictionary indicates whether the word is transitive or intransitive, deponent, or takes any particular case following it.
Unfortunately I am unable to locate any dictionaries in print to check for these, so if anyone could suggest something that would satisfy my requirements, I would be very grateful to you.
Thank you,
Eriko

The Wells dictionary definitely shows transitivity. Those of you who have other ones can hopefully give this information for your dictionary (McLinen, etc)
In any case, the Wells is the best dictionary for beginners, and I highly recommend it. It is out of print but you can get a used copy online.
Transitivity is the maximum you'll find in an Esperanto dictionary, regarding grammar. Esperanto has only two cases (nominative/accusative), and if a word needs to take the accusative, that will be indicated by the transitivity.
