[sword-devel] Is the LXX module stored in modern Greek?

[pierre amadio]

Hello !

The LXX module is in koine Greek.
The  StatResGNT cond module mentions: Lang=grc
https://crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModInfo.jsp?modName=StatResGNT

That is the code for ancient greek, it should be 'el' to denote modern greek.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes

Given that the purpose of the StatResGNT module is to get the most
statistically probable original text, why would it use modern Greek ?

Do you have an example where the module uses a modern Greek and not
koine one ? I think it would make sense to use koine as much as
possible.

(It would be possible to create another module with the Koine Greek wordings.) I think the same is true for the LXX module. Can someone please confirm this?
