I continue to consider it a bug:

1. It is a logical subject, but in Greek (at least in my grammar book) there 
are no such thing as adjective which is derived from numeral without any 
change of the word. It is called "cardinal numeral", not "adjective numeral".

2. Despite it cannot really confuse a human reader, it confuses the soft that 
G1722 G1520 is TWO strongs applied to one word, what is inconsistent with 
other cases in Byz when one word has two strongs as in these other cases it 
means that the word is composite word composed from two words (it would be 
like hENEN so composed from two strongs if it would be consistent with the 
rest of Byz).
