These are the modules from Michael K. Can't remember exact number. He has roughly 200-280 modules, mostly from Papua New Guinea. I wrote a simplistic versification detection mechanism. But there were still lots of issues which boiled down as follows - Modules that need a combination of at least 2 versifications. E.g some books only ever defined in OT versification (I think macc 3 and various combinations of Daniel are examples of these) - Many extra verses or chapters that don't really fit in our existing v11ns - A combination of the above. >From memory at least 60-80% of modules had issues as above.
