BUG: Greek not recognized as Greek

1. open The Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament

2. navigate to ἁγιάζω

3. select ἁγιάζω and right click

4. on right-click context menu select BWS

5. BUG: Note that the BWS opens with the sections one gets from entering an English word not a Greek word.

6. BUG: Trying to check if the same issue exists in Hebrew I discovered the BDB doesn't offer the BWS in the context menu even when the word is given a Biblical reference.

6. BUG: Trying to check if the same issue exists in Hebrew I discovered the BDB doesn't offer the BWS in the context menu even when the word is given a Biblical reference.

Same applies with other Greek and Hebrew lexicons e.g. DBL Greek, DBL Hebrew

Thanks for checking Dave - I was getting frustrated because I was too far off from what I originally wanted to do.

The headword in LXGRCANLEX is incorrectly tagged as English, so the software offers to run an English BWS on it.

A Greek or Hebrew BWS can only be launched from a Greek/Hebrew lemma (not arbitrary Greek/Hebrew text); this is why the menu command is not available in correctly-tagged Greek/Hebrew dictionaries.

The fix will be to correct the tagging of LXGRCANLEX, at which point the menu item will disappear.

Thanks for making it make sense. I understand what is happening.

But I can't resist puzzling over this sortie:

only a lemma can be the subject of a BWS

a lemma is the dictionary entry (headword).

X is a dictionary entry (headword).

Therefore X cannot be the subject of a BWS[A]

Okay, the Logos design actually is more defensible than my logic makes it sound - but it was such a wonderful opportunity you gave me.
