    Not yet - neither the Vulgate nor the Peshitta is supported. This is an area into which I hope Logos/Verbum expands.

    You can start from a Latin Bible and use the context menu to get to Bible Word Study. Here's an example starting from the Clementine Vulgate and looking up sēminō

    You can't directly type Latin terms into Bible Word Study though.

    Not trying to be difficult, but your example works in my trusty L7 (I think when the neato Vulgate Interlinear was introduced).

    Does BWS in L9 do much more ... the old one wouldn't even show the library searches (at the bottom)?

    Right, this is not a new feature. I'm just pointing out that it is possible to get to Bible Word Study for a (biblical) Latin term. The support is still fairly basic: identifying the lemma and linking to lexicons. Textual Searches doesn't produce any results for me (but then, Basic Search doesn't either, outside the lexicons: I don't have many Latin resources).

    Thank you, Sean. That implies that incremental steps to make it truly functional is the way to go in the feature requests ... and small projects are more likely to be completed.
