SUGG: "Definition Pop Up" for AFPMA

I appreciate the addition of the "definition pop-up" for Syntax Searches in 4.2 Beta 5. That's helpful. But I think a more fundamental "pop up" is necessary for the Andersen-Forbes Phrase Marker Analysis itself. I first learned how to do Hebrew syntax searches by studying the AFPMA in Logos 3. In the Logos 3 AFPMA the hover-over pop ups identified the "search terms" (such as Clause, Clause Immediate Constituent, Phrase, etc.), but these identifiers have been dropped in the Logos 4 version. So I'm not sure how one would learn to do Hebrew syntax searches in Logos 4.

For example, when I hover over the syntactic analysis of the first word in Psalm 25:1 (ignoring the superscription), אֵלֶיךָ, in Logos 4, I see "Clause" --> "Indirect Object" --> "'Unto' + Pronoun", but I'm not given any information as to how this corresponds to setting up a syntax search for similar constructions. Whereas when I hover over the same items in Logos 3, I see "Clause (Prediction): Clause" --> "Clause Immediate Constituent: Indirect Object" --> "Phrase: 'Unto' + Pronoun," so now I know that an Indirect Object is a Clause Immediate Constituent and that Unto+Pronoun is a Phrase.

I had discussed this omission with one of the Logos developers at last year's SBL, so I hope this suggestion has been on your list of improvements yet to be implemented for Logos 4.
