Hi,

Is it possible that at some point in the future (near or far) the Peshitta (Kiraz) on the web app will be tagged to Kiraz's Analytical Lexicon like it is on the desktop app? I can't even get a gloss to come up when I right click a word in the Peshitta. Thanks.

    Well, Mr Beecher, the problem is a combinatorial probability. Peshitta (2%) X Analytic (1.34%) X WebVersion (18%).

    This issue you mention, I'd think important, primarily because the web version potentially reaches a broader academic audience. 

    Personally, I'd recommend you re-post maybe January or so ... their web folks are likely buried in Logos8 rollout, followed by vacations.

    OK....at the risk of sounding ignorant, what is "Peshitta (Kiraz)"?

    No risk, never ignorant, always curious.

    George Anton Kiraz is basicaly synonimous with syriac and the Syriac Bible. The Syriac is the third leg of the hebrew-greek-syriac stool (latin later).  It offers clues for both the OT and NT textual origins.

    In Logos, the Kiraz combo was an early door, and included Kiraz's morph'd syriac (NT), a grammar, lexicon, and Kiraz's analytic lexicon. A similar package was created for coptic; less useful.

    Kiraz is a Logos favorite .... the above combo, Antioch Bible (syriac), lexical tools, and the Hugoye journal (which will disappear on lowest common denominator principles).

    So nice to see someone get this right ... but do I get a chance to mention the protuberance (not a leg) of Aramaic [;)]

    Agree. Aramaic is what you wish for under the manuscript tree. So far, cookies and milk haven't worked ... just fragments for ones imagination.

    Thanks Denise! You’re probably right. My end of the semester projects have me too bound up to be overly concerned about this issue right now. I just wanted to get ahead of the game before I take my Syriac class next year. I’ll bring this up again the Spring.
