This won't work. The arrays can not readily be understood as parallel unless from the same v11n. (Note, we currently have the notion of module level v11n, but some v11ns have the v11n as other, differing only in the OT. JSword splits v11n into OT and NT, but does not make that visible.)

You can iterate over the first, but by mapping have to jump around the second array.
