(Non)Facet: Andersen-Forbes data -- syntax, morphology, genre, semantic domain, source criticism
Andersen-Forbes historically was critical to Faithlife processing. This means that long-term users may revert to Andersen-Forbes when researching thorny syntax or tagging.

New data provided by the label
This is not a label. However, all of the Andersen-Forbes data is original.
Filters
The wiki has several example visual filters based on Andersen-Forbes. An excerpt of the Eissenfeldt source criticism visual filter.
An excerpt of the Mowinkel source criticism visual filter:
An excerpt of the AFAT genre coding:
I do not have an example of a visual filter based on the AFAT semantic domains.
Vocabulary cards
none
Bible Browser
Not implemented
Faithlife Assistant
Not implemented
Interactive
None but there is a clause visualization.
Information Tool
Not available for clause visualization resources. I have a query in the forums to find why the Analyzed Text lacks the Andersen-Forbes coding in the Information Panel.
Context Menu
For genre:
The values shown in the context menu are listed at AFAT genres (logos.com).
The general pattern for Andersen-Forbes non-syntactic coding is that the copy reference and search options are available but the look up option does not as the standard glossary does not provide definitions for the non-syntactic coding.
For source criticism:
The Andersen-Forbes coding for source criticism – Eissfeldt and Mowinckel – are available at TIP of the day: datatypes for searching that are Andersen-Forbes specific - Faithlife Forums (logos.com)
The general pattern for Andersen-Forbes non-syntactic coding is that the copy reference and search options are available but the look up option does not as the standard glossary does not provide definitions for the non-syntactic coding.
The general pattern for Andersen-Forbes non-syntactic coding is that the copy reference and search options are available but the look up option does not as the standard glossary does not provide definitions for the non-syntactic coding.
For semantic domain:
Substantive Semantics in the Glossary documents the semantic domains for nouns.
The general pattern for Andersen-Forbes non-syntactic coding is that the copy reference and search options are available but the look up option does not as the standard glossary does not provide definitions for the non-syntactic coding.
Verbal Semantics/Valency in the Glossary documents the semantic domains for verbs.
The general pattern for Andersen-Forbes non-syntactic coding is that the copy reference and search options are available but the look up option does not as the standard glossary does not provide definitions for the non-syntactic coding.
For syntactic analysis:
The phrase markers follow the set pattern. I have entered a bug report for the failure of the Look up function to reference the glossary.
When accessing the Context Menu from the manuscript column:
Note that Manuscript is not separated from Selection. Otherwise, this Context Menu is as expected.
When accessing the Context Menu from the lexeme column:
The lemma generates standard copy reference and search as well as the full top five look up options.
When accessing the Context Menu from the gloss column:
Like Manuscript, Gloss is not separated from selection. It generates minimal copy and search functions as one would expect from a gloss.
When accessing the Context Menu from the morphology column:
There is no lookup to translate the morphology code although it is visible to the right of the morphology entry on the tab side and in the heading of the right (action) side. Standard copy and search functions are offered.
For morphology coding (in Analyzed Text):
This option is being considered because the added search options need exploration. Note the seven options for initiating a search. Inline, Bible, All Open, and All Resources are familiar.
The first option generates a search argument of <AFMorphHeb ~ VqAsSM3??> run as a Morphology Search against the AFAT.
The final entry adds the lemma to the morphological coding generating a search argument of lemma:היה:1@VqAsSM3 which produces the results:
Sorry but I have not found an example for the series option.
Concordance
These are not labels and therefore do not appear in the concordance.
Search
For genre:
Search argument: <AndersenForbesGenre = div-oth> yields
For source criticism:
Genesis: search argument <EissfeldtHexateuch = P> generates
Jeremiah: search argument <EissfeldtHexateuch = C> generates
The system is misbehaving on this and has been reported as a bug.
For semantic domain:
Noun: search argument <AndersenForbesSemanticDomain = vocbl> generates
Verb: for search argument <AndersenForbesSemanticDomain = exist> the following results
For syntactic analysis:
The generated search argument <AndersenForbesPhraseMarkerAnalysis = mnr : gram> returns no results.
For morphology coding:
The argument <AFMorphHeb = NPHSMN> generates the results
