Comments

Text
  • Abraham
  • Abram, Abraham
  • “John Mark”

Ur

tent
  • Searches actual surface text of any text resource
  • Returns references to name
  • Generally uses parsing algorithm not tagging (Match all word forms)
  • Can disambiguate Proper noun vs. common noun (Match case)
  • Can specify language and marks sensitivity (Match marks)

Data type
  • <Person Abraham>
  • person:Abraham
  • <Place Ur (city)>
  • Place:Ur (city)
  • <Thing tent>
  • thing:tent
  • Searches tags in tagged resources
  • Returns references to person
  • Is disambiguated by definition

Lemma
  • lemma:אַבְרָם
  • <Lemma = lbs/he/אַבְרָם>
  • <DBLHebrew = DBLH 92>
  • <HebrewGK = HGK92>
  • <HebrewStrongs = H87>
  • <GreekStrongs = G5624>
  • lemma:אוּר:3
  • <Lemma ~ lbs/he/אוּר:3>
  • <DBLHebrew = DBLH 243>
  • <HebrewGK = HGK243>
  • <HebrewStrongs = H218>
  • <TWOT = TWOT No. 52e>
  • lemma:אֹ֫הֶל:1
  • <Lemma ~ lbs/he/אֹ֫הֶל:1>
  • lemma:אהל:3 (in AFAT)
  • <Lemma ~ af/he/אהל:3>
  • <Lemma ~ lls/he/אֹהֶל:1> (in BHW)
  • <Lemma ~ lpi/syr/ܡܫܟܢܐ>
  • <Lemma ~ lbs/la/tabernāculum>
  • Searches tags in compatible morphology-tagged resources
  • Returns references to any form of the lemma
  • Lemmas disambiguated only in dictionary sense (indicated by a number)
  • Does not need parsing algorithm

 

Sense

n/a

n/a
  • <Sense = tent>
  • Sense:tent
  • Searches sense tags
  • Returns reference to the sense regardless of lemma
  • Sense disambiguated by definition

 

Note: the lemma list is not exhaustive. Lemma format falls into 3 categories:

  1. Logos morphology/dictionary/lexicon lemmas used by default because they are broadly used. Logos morphology is available for Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin
  2. Lemma divisions associated with a specific dictionary are especially popular with Strong’s fans. Certain lexicons other than Strongs also can accessed in a similar method.
  3. Lemma divisions associated with specific morphological coding are sometimes useful – Andersen-Forbes being one of the first and, therefore, well known.

Available morphological coding for morphology search.

One can use Verbum very effectively, ignoring all but the Louw-Nida datatype. For all others, the use of headwords will serve your purposes. However, because a number of resources refer to these datatype, one needs to be aware of what they refer to.

    • Abraham

    Ur

    tent
    • Searches actual surface text of any text resource
    • Returns referents references to name---> belongs to <Person> <Place> <Thing>          
    • Generally uses parsing algorithm not tagging (Match all word forms) - what uses parsing? 
    • Can disambiguate Proper noun vs. common noun (Match case)
    • Can specify language and marks sensitivity (Match marks) --> see Matching Commands.

    Data type

    • <Person Abraham>
    • person:Abraham
    • <Place Ur (city)>
    • Place:Ur (city)
    • <Thing tent>
    • thing:tent
    • Searches tags in tagged resources ---> these examples use datasets i.e. Biblical People, Bib. Places, Bib. Things, Bib. Referents
    • Returns references to person ---> referents to Person, Place, Thing?
    • Is disambiguated by definition   ---> meaning <Place Ur (city)> can't be mistaken for <Place Ur (region)>?

    Should this be in the Comments column? Separate Clause syntax or label it as Clause syntax.

    • <Lemma ~ lbs/la/tabernāculum>
    • Searches tags in compatible morphology-tagged resources ---> the lemma is a tag? OR the resource is tagged with lemmas?[:)]
    • Returns references to any form of the lemma 
    • Lemmas disambiguated only in dictionary sense (indicated by a number) ---> what number? Lemmas are Headwords as in any dictionary/lexicon. Not every lexicon has multiple indexes, and some 'numbers' are not unique to the lemma e.g. TWOT 54 in DBL Hebrew relates two lemmas.
    • Does not need parsing algorithm  ---> how does this help i.e. it has to be parsed

    Thank you Dave ... this is feedback I needed ... I'll go back and revise after I've sorted out the misbehavior of superset ...
