Bug: Hebrew Formatting in Word Info Card
This confused me for a while where the pronominal suffix was, until I realized the Hebrew text was improperly formatted, and the mem was out of order. Not sure why this would happen...

bumping in hopes of getting an appropriate response
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Robert, I am unable to duplicate this problem. If the NKJV has been downloaded to your device, you might want to consider removing it and downloading it again.

When a single English word is aligned to multiple Hebrew words, the individual alignments are displayed left-to-right (matching English reading order). The glosses and morphs and Strong's numbers are also in that same order. Compare with a similar display on desktop (that is clearer because it separates the information into multiple "cells"):
This is probably the wrong way to show the data, though (the "MSS" line should read RTL like MSS text), so I'll send a bug report to the mobile team.

Robert, I can now see that this issue occurs on iOS but not Android. I had a few too many irons in the fire at the time I was looking at this. Sorry about that!

My apologies, Joe - I forgot to include that information!
Bradley, you are correct that the Desktop interlinear divides the pronominal suffixes (changing the order if necessary). However, on Mobile, I think they should normally have multiple word info cards instead, with each word info card showing the full word (including the suffix) as it appears in the manuscript.
(I can see why they do it differently on Desktop, since you see everything at once, and it would be tedious to see the same complete word (including the suffix) repeated multiple times. However, I like seeing the full word as it appears in the manuscript on Mobile, where you only see the info for that one word when you click on it).

Thanks for this suggestion; I'll add it to our bug tracker.

I noticed there was a note in the Mobile Beta, "Fixed some issues related to the Word Info card."
I checked and it looks like there were some changes made relating to this issue. The mem is now in the correct order (per the manuscript).
HOWEVER, there is still a space between the suffix and the word it's attached to, so it does not reflect the manuscript ("MSS"), and the Lemma combines lemmas for the noun and the pronominal suffix, and worse, the Gloss pertains to the noun, while the Morph and Word Lookup pertains to the pronominal suffix. There should be two Word Info cards, one for "king" and one for the pronominal suffix. And the MSS should not contain an extra space.
I'm also confused why the seemingly identical example that I showed earlier from Jeremiah 49:20 worked as expected, and still works as expected.
