The "count" is off?
While familiarizing myself with "The Complete Word Study Bible," I discovered what I believe to be a mistake in "count?"
See copied "note" example below:
"72. The Pronoun is used in place of a noun. In Greek, there are eight categories of pronouns: the Demonstrative Pronoun (32), the Emphatic Personal Pronoun (34), the Indefinite Pronoun (48), the Interrogative Pronoun (49), the Personal Pronoun (73), the Possessive Pronoun (76), the Reciprocal Pronoun (90), the Reflexive Pronoun (91), and the Relative Pronoun (92)."
It tells you that: "In Greek, there are eight categories of pronouns," but I believe I count nine?
Of course, I discovered this early in the morning. With my tired old eyes, still rolling around in my head, I wanted to make sure I was right. After drinking several cups of tea, the count came up the same. No change.
I thought I would bring this up to your attention. If it's me, please let me know, I might need new glasses, or a new set of eyes.
God bless you all
Dan

Is it LOGOS's error (I doubt it) or was it in the original? I bet the original work - though this series is usually pretty good.

Hi Daniel, I cannot find this note in The Complete Word Study Bible. Can you tell me exactly where it is located so that I can check it in another program and see if it is just a mistake in the Logos version or if it is throughout all versions?
Thanks.

It is note number 72 and is referenced on some pronouns like MY, YOUR, HIM as in Note: (73 see 72)
Search 73 NEAR 72 and expand the note 72

Thanks David, this seems to be an error on all/most electronic versions (I don't have a hard copy). Attached is the same note from a competitor's program and it contains the same mistake, so it is not just a Logos error.
Edit: I hope this does not violate the terms of the forum. I posted simply for comparison to this issue in good faith.
If anyone perceives a problem (especially regular posters familiar with the guidelines or MVP's) please let me know and I'll edit my post and make it more vague. I am open to correction/instruction on this sometimes slippery issue.

For all the Monty Python fans - this reminds me of the line from the Spanish Inquisition: "NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again."

Nope, no problems with what you did. All you're doing is revealing that this is probably an issue with the print edition that has been replicated by the e-editions across many platforms.
You may or may not have seen this post: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/20261.aspx which is germane to the question of what acknowledgement is appropriate to give to Logos' competitors.
