>>I just checked on the size of the problem. It
>>isn't huge, though the OT is much more difficult,
>>so it is worth working out how to do things in
>>the NT to get them right in the OT.
>>In the NT we have 14169 double-tags, but 14116
>>of these have G3588 as the first tag (ie "the" which we are ignoring)
>>When you exclude 3588 we are left with 53
>>double-tags (a few more than 14169-14116 cos of treble-tags)
>>These occur in 39 verses in the NT.
>>Mark 2.18-26 is a good passage: v.18x1, 19x3, 21x1, 22x1, 23x1, 26x2
>>So Mark 2.19 is a good example:
>>And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of
>>the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is
>>with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can not fast.
>>Another verse with 3 examples is Mk.9.42
>>And whosoever shall offend one of these little
>>ones that believe in me, it is better for him
>>that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
>>This example is particularly good cos it has:
>>whosoever - an example of two tiny words which
>>don't translate well separately - ie ean "if" and hos "which"
>>better - two words which are separated in the
>>Greek, kalos "good" and mallon "more"
>>millstone - the Greek is made of two words like
>>the English used to be, milikos "mill" and lithos "stone".
>>
>>It would be great if the display could visually depict these links, eg:
>>
>>kalon | estin | autw | mallon | ei | perikeitai | lithos | mulikos
>>better | it is | for him | [better] |that | were hanged | millstone
>>
>>
>>it is | better | for him | that
>>| a millstone | were hanged
>>estin | kalon |
>>mallon | autw | ei | lithos | mulikos | perikeitai
>>
>>However, I have no idea how you would do this!
>>
>>as to the glosses, what about:
>>
>>it is | better | for him | that
>>| a millstone | were hanged
>>estin | kalon |
>>mallon | autw | ei | lithos | mulikos | perikeitai
>>to
>>be | good | more |he/her/-self| if |
>>stone | millstone| to surround
>>
>>Note that I've changed "I am" to "to be".
>>I've also changed "he/himself/here" [typo!] to "he/her/-self"
>>(I'm going to have to go through these glosses!)
>>
>>So, wrt your original question, what about: stone | millstone
>>This will allow for things like to do/make | quickly
>>(though I have no idea if anything like this will occur.
>>
>>I don't know if you can do anything with the
>>additional challenge of displaying these double-tags clearly.
