Hi
Tyndale House (Cambridge) have devised an automatic way of transliterating both
Greek and
Hebrew with syllable markers in the Hebrew. STEP uses this as part of searches
and auto
completes as well as interlinears. The scheme is still in beta and being
refined but shout if
you want the code and I can point you to it. Or shout if you want examples.
Nice! Not at the moment, but I may ask someday.
I also have a mapping of all the strongs and all possible forms found in the
Hebrew and Greek
texts. That was based on existing Sword modules.
That sounds pretty cool too.
Tyndale have created a lexicon with lexical forms attached to every strong
number based on
LSJ and BDB and some others. Actually the number of fields we have is a lot
more than the
ones you suggest. Couple of samples attached. (Transliterations aren't in the
files as we
generate those as we index the data. )
leu me know of yow interested.
It looks very interesting. My question is, does SWORD cope with all
of these fields? Can words be looked up by each of them? It seems to me that
SWORD can cope with only one of the fields being the key, and the others can't
be. I think it would be useful, for example, to have dictionaries with
multiple keys, so that items can be looked up by lexical item or Strongs
Number. It might also mean that it would be possible to have fields with and
without breathings, accents, and the like, which could be useful for searching
purposes.
It might also be useful to be able to index words on non-unique
fields. For example, if there were a "root" field, there might be multiple
words derived from the same root, and someone might want to do a search for
all of them.
Does anyone know whether these kinds of things are possible?
