[sword-devel] OSIS Bibles | Marking Strong's numbers | Documenting the use of type="x-split-####"

[David Haslam]

In this section of our Wiki page for OSIS Bibles

https://wiki.crosswire.org/OSIS_Bibles#Marking_Strong.27s_numbers

there is no detailed documentation for how, within a w element, one should use the attribute 

type="x-split-#" (where # is a number that may have multiple digits).

Can anyone explain how this works and how the number is chosen?

It looks to me like a serial number that identifies the particular instance where a word from the Hebrew or Greek was split in the Bible translation. They mostly come in pairs, presumably because a three-way split would be rare indeed.

Example: found in Gen.2.9  (the first instance in the KJV)

<w morph="strongMorph:TH8686" lemma="strong:H06779" type="x-split-1">made</w>
<w lemma="strong:H03068">the <divineName>Lord</divineName></w>
<w lemma="strong:H0430">God</w>
<w morph="strongMorph:TH8686" lemma="strong:H06779" type="x-split-1">to grow</w>


Example: found in Rev.22.5 (the last instance in the KJV)

<w src="18" lemma="strong:G5461 lemma.TR:φωτιζει" morph="robinson:V-PAI-3S" type="x-split-3868">giveth</w>
<w src="19" lemma="strong:G846 lemma.TR:αυτους" morph="robinson:P-APM">them</w>
<w src="18" lemma="strong:G5461 lemma.TR:φωτιζει" morph="robinson:V-PAI-3S" type="x-split-3868">light</w>:

It would be useful to add a suitable explanation in that section of the wiki page.

Best regards,

David
