[sword-devel] Observations on the SahidicBible module

[David Haslam]

Hi Troy,

I can certainly see that OSIS will be needed to make some parts of the
source text more usable.

There are 201 *w* elements similar to this example:

<w><supplied source="na28" reason="illegible">ⲉⲧ</supplied>ⲃⲉ</w>

I'm thinking that these should be converted to use the OSIS *transChange*
element.

<w><transChange type="x-supplied-na28">ⲉⲧ</transChange>ⲃⲉ</w>

The *reason* attribute could be discarded if a suitable note was added to
the module .conf file.

Even so, there are so many other anomalies that make the file as it stands
hard to fathom in terms of what's the semantic significance of various
constructions within various *w* elements.

I'd not expect to see ordinary punctuation marks within a *w* element, would
you?

So stuff like <w>[……</w> and <w>[ⲉ]ⲣⲉϯ…………</w> requires a lot of resolution.

There are also what appear to be errors in how a few verses are marked. 
Here's an example of such. 

Judges 20:33 contains Judges 20:34

$$$Judges 20:33
<ab n="B07K20V33" id="1007020000.1"><w>ⲁⲩⲱ</w> <w>ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ</w> <w>ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ</w>
<w>ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ</w> <w>ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ</w> <w>ⲉⲃⲟⲗ</w> <w>ϩⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗⲉⲩⲙⲁ</w>
<w>ⲁⲩⲙⲓϣⲉ</w> <w>ϩⲛⲃⲁⲁⲗⲑⲁⲙⲁⲣ</w> <w>ⲁⲩⲱ</w> <w>ⲡⲉⲙⲗⲁϩ</w> <w>ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ</w>
<w>ⲉⲧⲟ</w> <w>ⲛⲕⲣⲟϥ</w> <w>ⲁϥⲉⲓ</w> <w>ⲉⲃⲟⲗ</w> <w>ϩⲙⲡⲉϥⲙⲁ</w> <w>ϩⲛⲙⲙⲁ</w>
<w>ⲛϩⲱⲧⲡ</w> <w>ⲛⲅⲁⲃⲁⲁ</w> <w>Judges</w> <w>20:34</w> <w>ⲁⲩⲉⲓ</w>
<w>ⲉⲃⲟⲗ</w> <w>ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ</w> <w>ⲉⲃⲟⲗ</w> <w>ⲛⲅⲁⲃⲁⲁ</w> <w>ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲣⲟⲩⲧⲃⲁ</w>
<w>ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ</w> <w>ⲛⲥⲱⲧⲡ</w> <w>ⲉⲃⲟⲗ</w> <w>ϩⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ</w> <w>ⲧⲏⲣϥ</w>
<w>ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ</w> <w>ⲛⲙⲗⲁϩ</w> <w>ϣⲱⲡⲉ</w> <w>ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ</w> <w>ⲇⲉ</w> <w>ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ</w>
<w>ϫⲉ</w> <w>ⲧⲕⲁⲕⲓⲁ</w> <w>ⲛⲁⲉⲓ</w> <w>ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ</w> <w>ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ</w></ab>
$$$Judges 20:34
<ab n="B07K20V34" id="1007020000.1"/>

How much of this is made worse by the export feature isn't clear.
It might simply be due to a missing EOL, but then the mistake compounded by
the export mechanism.

It's probably best if I pursue this off-line with those concerned.

Best regards,

David
