[sword-devel] How to fix book names in Ukrainian/Russian

Hi,

Thank you, everybody for your input. After thinking about it a bit more 
I decided to drop the hyphen "-" completely.

"1 Коринтян" is a nice concise way to display the book name. A complete 
way would be "Перше послання до Коринтян" or "1-ше послання до Коринтян" 
which is too long for the purpose in my understanding.


Attached is the complete patch with [Pref Abbrevs] section for Ukrainian 
and without hyphen


Is the following understanding of the sections correct?

[Text] - used by frontends to display a localized list of book names for 
user to choose a book

[Pref Abbrevs] - used as preferred abbreviations for cross-references 
and other compact mentions

[Book Abbrevs] - all possible variants to spell the book name for user's 
"type-in-quick-jump" to a book


Am I missing something?


/sincerely,/
/Evgen Kucherov/
