[sword-devel] Strong's numbers in Septuagint/LXX module?

[DM Smith]

I think he wants the Greek Strongs number and the Hebrew Strongs number 
for each word in the Old Testament where the Greek Strongs number would 
come from the LXX. This really is a mapping between the Hebrew text and 
the LXX. I think that this makes more sense for it to be placed in the 
LXX itself.

For example, Job 1.5 (in the LXX module) is (edited for brevity, but 
still long) [ Note the LXX is in GBF format. ]
και<WG2532> ως<WG3739> αν<WG302> συνετελεσθησαν<WG4931> αι<WG3588> 
ημεραι<WG2250> του<WG3588> ποτου<WG4224> απεστελλεν<WG649> ιωβ<WG2492> 
και<WG2532> εκαθαριζεν<WG2511> αυτους<WG846> ανισταμενος<WG450> 
το<WG3588> πρωι<WG4404> και<WG2532> προσεφερεν<WG4374> περι<WG4012> 
αυτων<WG846> θυσιας<WG2378> κατα<WG2596> τον<WG3588> αριθμον<WG706> 
αυτων<WG846> και<WG2532> μοσχον<WG3448> ενα<WG1519> περι<WG4012> 
αμαρτιας<WG266> περι<WG4012> των<WG3588> ψυχων<WG5590> αυτων<WG846> 
ελεγεν<WG3004> γαρ<WG1063> ιωβ<WG2492> μηποτε<WG3379> οι<WG3588> 
υιοι<WG5207> μου<WG1473> εν<WG1722> τη<WG3588> διανοια<WG1271> 
αυτων<WG846> κακα<WG2556> ενενοησαν προς<WG4314> θεον<WG2316> 
ουτως<WG3778> ουν<WG3767> εποιει<WG4160> ιωβ<WG2492> πασας<WG3956> 
τας<WG3588> ημερας<WG2250>

These are all Greek strongs numbers. But the underlying text is Hebrew. 
Wouldn't the mapping make better sense here?

I also think that it would be neat if our front ends could provide an 
interlinear mode (not just parallel) using mapping data. Having 
positional data from the base text (e.g. WLC) would be helpful in doing 
this.
