Some morph tagging errors in the LXX book of Wisdom

Fr Devin Roza · February 2015

I have been working through the Greek of the Book of Wisdom in the Septuagint, and have found some errors - interestingly, they all fit into one search:

The morph tagging of all of these highlighted words is incorrect - none of them are "Future Middle Indicative 2nd singular". ὄψει is a dative singular feminine noun, from ὄψις, εως in all of the above cases. And, the two words in Wisdom 4:11 are both aorist subjunctive 3rd singulars.

These problems are present in all the different LXX versions that I have checked (probably all copied from the same source), so remember to correct them everywhere! Thanks!

In Wisdom 4:12, ἀμαυροῖ is incorrectly tagged as a nominative plural adjective. It is a verb, indicative, 3rd, singular, active from ἀμαυρόω.

In Wisdom 4:16. the word ἀσεβεῖς is classified as a nominative plural. It is an accusative plural.

A similar problem is found in many other passages throughout the LXX, as is clear scanning through the search results here, where a good percentage of the results classified as nominatives are accusatives.

Looks like there are serious morph tagging issues in the LXX. The problems seem to be centered on forms that have multiple possibilities, such as is the case with all of the above reported issues.
