In this paper we present a novel rule-based, language independent method for determining lexical entailment relations using semantic representations built from Wiktionary definitions. Combined with a simple WordNet-based method our system achieves top scores on the English and Italian datasets of the Semeval-2020 task ``Predicting Multilingual and Cross-lingual (graded) Lexical Entailment" (Glavas et. al. 2020). A detailed error analysis of our output uncovers future directions for improving both the semantic parsing method and the inference process on semantic graphs.
