Definitions that don't show in Info.

I often have a small Info tab to the right of what I am reading/studying so that when I click a word the definition (among other things) show. I have noticed many times that words that are common in or at least relevant to scholarly study of Scripture, do not show up. The most recent was "midrashim". I Google them but it would be nice if I could see within the Logos environment. Is there an ongoing list of terms that need to be added?

Looking further, I did see that "midrash" is defined in this particular instance. So perhaps the extension of forms of the terms is what would be helpful in this case. Still, although I can't recall specific words at this moment, frequently there are times where a term is not defined.

I'm not quite sure what you are saying:

that midrashim shows the definition for midrash and you would prefer it to show the actual definition for midrashim
that midrashim doesn't show anything at all

I think probably the first but just wanted to check.

There was no definition or acknowledgement of "midrashim". Only when "midrash" happened to be used later in the commentary was I able to see definition by clicking on it. I didn't know enough about it to look for "midrash" on my own had it not shown up.

That's strange. When I click midrashim I get the definition for midrash

What resource were you doing this in / where in the resource?

Can you post a screenshot showing it?

Well, now I do too with both midrashim and midrashic. I can't explain why that occurred before. At the time I tried more than once. Is it possible that one of the instances it is used was not linked? Later I will go through the sections I was using and try each time the word is used to see if that is the case or if I just had a temporary issue.

Thanks for looking into it.

I could not duplicate issue, sorry for false alarm

No problem - glad it is working again.
