  • I did a search on the Andersen-Forbes Hebrew morphology
  • The results include a book that states it uses the Logos Hebrew morphology

Which version should I believe?

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Interesting. Running this search against my library finds both books, too, plus the Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls which makes this 252 resources coming up with AFAT morphology - in the basic search you used, too.. 

    (fun fact: Most of us don't write out ([field bible, content] <AFMorphHeb ~ N???????>) by hand, though - I simply started with the morph search, selected AFAT and then noun. This search shows 13.6 millions of hits in 1124 resources, starting with NIV - not really helpful)

    I found that the Dead Sea Scrolls really are tagged with AF Hebrew, whereas the spurious 133 hits in the Lexham Dead Sea Scrolls H-E Interlinear bible may be the result of a bug: all of them show question marks in their morph tags (along with beginning with an N), so they follow a Nxxxxxx? pattern which looks like an AF morph tag rather than a Logos morph. Maybe someone just put two question marks behind forms that are not easy to determine, maybe variant spellings etc and the search picks those up erroneously.

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    I am getting so tired that I think I'll write a book proposal to Lexham Press titled "Everything I Touch Turns to Bugs".

    I got a crash after selecting the lemma in the Context menu of Lexham Dead Sea Scrolls (DSSI). The noun came from <AFMorphHeb ~ N???????> but NOT from <LogosMorphHeb ~ N?????>; which produces much more results.

    So all is not well with the morphology of words in DSSI.

    This seems like a bug to me. The resource is supposed to be tagged (exclusively, I would think) with Logos Hebrew morph.

    We updated the resource to replace any AF morph codes with Logos Hebrew morph. (This happened in late October 2019 but we never updated this thread.)

    This bug was fixed in Logos 8.9.
