[sword-devel] Changes in strong numbers in Luke

Wed Aug 5 04:52:30 MST 2015

Thank you for the explanations

Yes I'm using mod2imp.  Thank you.

Regarding the file from which you generate the module, don't you think 
it would be good idea to put it in a version control system as you have 
done for sword
https://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/  ?

By the way at least one mistake in the strong concordance that I noticed 
in the current version of KJV is in Luke 3:24 that doesn't have the 3rd 
word:

> < 3:24 1-3588 2-3158 3-3588 4-3017 5-3588 6-3197 7-3588 8-2388 9-3588 
> 10-2501

>> 3:24 1-3588 2-3158 4-3017 5-3588 6-3197 7-3588 8-2388 9-3588 10-2501
> 
> Missing 3rd one, verse was better in previous version

Regarding the Scrivener variant of Luke 1:35 that introduced "εκ σου"; 
yes
I see the variant in ST-SCR.ZIP and in SCRIVNER.ZIP downloaded from 
http://www.byztxt.com/downloads.html
According to that page this comes from "Scrivener's 1894 Textus Receptus 
as
published by Trinitarian Bible Society"
However what puzzles me is that I cannot find a manuscript with it at:

http://nttranscripts.uni-muenster.de/AnaServer?NTtranscripts+0+start.anv

Do you know any manuscript with it?

Blessings,

> Here is how to understand the markup:
> 1) src indicates the position of the word in the underlying Greek text. 
> Very seldom do Greek and English follow the same order.
> 2) lemma gives two types of value, prefixed by strong: and lemma.TR:.
> 2.1) strong: is followed by the Strong’s number, with Greek having a 
> leading G and Hebrew having a leading H.
> 2.2) lemma.TR: is followed by the Greek word from the TR (Textus 
> Receptus).
> 3) morph gives the part of speech and is indexed to the Robinson 
> module.
> 4) type=“x-split-NNNN” indicates that in translating the Greek into 
> English, the English is in two parts. The NNNN is used to identify the 
> parts of the split that belong together.
> Note: G3588 is nearly always combined with another and then src, lemma
