This is top tier autism.

Granted if you want to learn more about language, read lots of different dictionaries from time periods. A philologist friend of mine is reading a 100 year old Macquarie dictionary for example.

Meanings change all the time so I don't know why you think there is one authoritative dictionary that isn't Google.

>I want to get a strong basis of the words before I started with more in depth material
A strong basis of what? To start on what? There are probably better ways of spending your time bro.

start with the greek dictionary
