[sword-devel] Strong tagging and Septuagint

[Chris Burrell]

Hi

Because I provide Interlinears, I need to be able to tell the user that for
the combination of LXX and KJV you are unable to see the interlinears in
the OT. The reason being, KJV uses Hxxxx and LXX uses Gxxxx. If you're
looking at several texts in interlinears, it simply looks like there is a
bug, because one of the lines is blank. The knowledge would enable me to
prevent users and warn them, that the functionality is unavailable.

(extended Greek: I was under the impression that someone added Greek Strong
numbers to cater for the ones that are only present in the OT and therefore
not part of the original set that Mr Strong originally did.

Chris
