<p>I originally thought my guess was just a wild stab, but after checking the 现代汉语词典 website, it didn't look as wild as I had thought.
I think BS stands for "bu shou" (radical), and BH stands for "bi hua" (strokes). In your example, 你·has five strokes, not counting the two in the radical. </p>

<p>Please check other entries to verify this. If my guess is correct, 她 should read: BS:女  BH:3 </p>
