Zondervan Encyclopedia of theBible - Greek references

This is the first new Zondervan reference I started using. It has notes to various transliterated Greek words in the form (G1234). These link as "Strongs" numbers but they are actually "GK" numbers. So they link to the incorrect resource/word - they would have to use something like the "Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains" which is by GK number. (Or some other new Zondervan resource?)

Pardon my ignorance but what are GK numbers?

Goodrick/Kohlenberger numbers created by the authors of a Zondervan-published concordance based on the NIV.

The only Logos resources that is keyed by these (as far as I know) are Swanson's "DIctionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains" (for Greek, Hebrew & Aramaic).

My ZEB books link to the GK/HK numbers(and resource fine). Could you give a specific example of the problem?

What resource are they linking to as Strong's numbers? Is the link automatic or have you set the link to open to Strong's?

I was looking at "Ephesus" in Volume 2 (D-G). Right at the beginning of the article it has the text: Ephesus ef’uh-suhs (Εφεσος G2387, perhaps “desirable”). If I mouse over the "G2387" the popup says "Strong's Greek #2387" and so links accordingly. Other links I tried nearby were the same. I don't think I "set" them to work this way (how would I have done that?).

OK... A few I tried in Volume 1 work as GK numbers as expected (both Greek and Hebrew). It might just be a few links, which happened to be the ones I tried first (just my luck), and not the whole resource. The GK numbers link to Lowe/Nida.

I think it's this way throughout Volume 2 (both Greek & Hebrew number-links think they are "Strong's" numbers).

Sorry for the inconvenience. The problem was logged and will be fixed.

Thanks. By the way, it's great to have these resources finally in Logos!
