[bt-devel] Multiple lemmas (OSIS)

[Tom Cornell]

Martin,
I've checked all of the Ancient Greek bible modules that I have (Tisch,
WHNU, TR, the MorphGNT module from the beta repository and the TischMorph
module from MorphGNT.org). They all still work. In the case of Tisch, which
also has multiple lemmas, it works better than it did before. (Previously
only the Strong's entry was showing up.) I have no idea if any or all of
them are actually using the OSIS filter, although I think Tisch must be,
since its behavior changed.
