I shouldn't worry about copying meanings as long as you don't copy and paste word for word. You can't copyright meanings for words, otherwise it would be almost impossible for organisations to compile new dictionaries.

If you would like any help with the project let me know.

The copyright prohibits any reproduction, in any form, of any part of the
book. Now the word definitions themselves are taken from BDB, but I don't
think that helps my cause! Does this copyright pretty much make the use of
that list a no-no, even though it facilitates the use of the book by others?


BDB is out of copyright, and so you can copy its definitions as much as you like. There are freely available online editions of BDB. But I would advise against the "Online Bible" edition which has theologically motivated changes from the original.
