I have been meaning to ask this for years...why is it that in the Word by Word section of the Exegetical Guide, and in the Lemma section of Bible Word Study, that some dictionaries don't have a definition there, even though there is an entry in the resource if you click on it? Is it because they have multiple options for the definition? Example --

    From a quick look, I suspect it is a matter of lexicon layout and the availability of a quick gloss.

    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."

    Agree, but the logic isn't too soph-isticated ... in Sophocles, its gloss collector zooms right into opposites.

    Oh, the temptation .... I agree that if the missing information was high priority it is not an intractable problem.
