Information Tool
The Information Tool does pick up the WIVU morphology for the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia: With Werkgroep Informatica, Vrije Universiteit Morphology. However, this is visible only if you are very familiar with the morphology coding or use mouse-over to expose the morphology.
But this becomes somewhat confusing in that the “generic” Logos glossary is called. Once the user realizes that not all syntax and morphology systems have a specific glossary, this is a quite satisfactory solution.
Context Menu
The morphology of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia: With Werkgroep Informatica, Vrije Universiteit Morphology is shown in the WIVU form.
The standard copy reference and search options are offered.
Visualizations Guide
The Visualization Guide is the Guide that reports on syntactic tree/outline data. This is a list of the resources that appear in this section whether Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic:
Note that to get the full list of potential resources in this section, I run the Guide on Gen-Rev using NRSV as my base translation because of its use of the ecumenical canon. Note, however, despite my best effort Bauserman, Charles R., Matt Nerdahl, and Jimmy Parks. 2015. Cascadia Syntax Graphs of the Septuagint Deuterocanon and Apocrypha. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press. does not appear nor does it appear if I run Tobit separately. This has been reported as a bug. There may be additional missing resources.
Search
Using the search from the Context Menu with morphology counted one gets:
How would the average user actually enter that search argument as opposed to using a prebuilt version?
Step 1: Open a Search panel in Morphology mode. Enter @ in the Search argument.
Step 2: Select the morphological system
Step 3: Select pronoun
Step 4: Select Demonstrative, plural
Which results in:
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."
