type="x-split" refers you back to src="y". Notice that both "Ghost" and "the" are src="29?" This means they come from the same word in the original (e.g. Greek in your example). The Greek likely did not use a separate term for the article in this particular location and so the translators inserted the word "the," inferred from the word for "Ghost." However, due to English grammar, an article must precede all other adjectives, so they had to "split" the Greek word to insert "Holy" between them. In the general case, type="x-split" means that two or more words in the translation have the same source word in the original language, but they are non-contiguous in the translation. --Greg > - subType attribute > > Cheers > Tonny Kohar > -- > Alkitab Bible Study > imagine, design, create ... > http://www.kiyut.com > > _______________________________________________ > sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org > http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel > Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page > _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
