Hyperlinks to BDAG

I have been setting up my prioritized resources and noticed something strange. I have set BDAG as my first preffered resource for greek words. This works very well in the search list. It always comes up first. But when you double click a Greek word in a greek text or Reverse Interlinear I get mixed results. When using a straight Greek Text like the NA27 text or Byzantine text it jumps straight to BADG regardless of the lexical form. It also does this with the Lexham Interlinear Greek New Testament and LXX. However when I double click on one of the English Greek Reverse Intelinears I get mixed results. Most of the time it jumps to the Lexham Analytical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament, sometimes it will jump to another lexicon like the Greek Intermediate Lexicon and occasionally it will jump straight to BADG. If I access the 5 Lexicons listed in the Lemma section BADG is at the top and it jumps straight to the right place. Is it possible for the hyperlink to jump straight to BADG in the Reverse Interlinears regardless of the word? Is there something I can do to make this happen. I have set BADG to open when using Greek Texts in the advanced prioritsed resources.

Thanks Steve Caswell

Stephen,

I'm wondering if it makes a difference WHERE you click in the interlinear...i.e. top row, second row, etc...?

can you be specific with a screen shot of a failed double click..i.e. verse...resource, word...and result?

Steve, try an experiment. Delete BDAG from your priority list and reinstate it but don't set any advanced prioritization restrictions. Make certain it is higher than any other Greek Lexicon. Try your double clicks again. Any Greek word (that is tagged with a lemma at least) should take you to BDAG.

I double click on the Greek text itself. The hyperlink won't work otherwise. In the Reverse interlinears it is necessary to have the Greek manuscript box ticked. It is possible to get to BADG directly sometimes. When it doesn't jump there directly but goes to Lexham Analytical Lexicon first you can double click on the Lemma form and get there with one or two more clicks. I am trying to set it up so it will jump there direct like it does in the Lexham Interlinears or the Greek New Testament Texts.

Kevin I tried setting the BDAG lexicon on the top as you suggested it still jumps to the Lexham Analytical Lexicon. It still opens for the Lexham Interlinears and the Greek Texts like Byzantine.

Are you clicking on the Manuscript line? This should bring up the Analytical Lexicon because you are looking for a form that probably doesn't occur in a standard lexicon. It's the only way i can get the AnLex to come up on my machine.

Yes I am clicking on the manuscript line. From there the link jumps to the Lexham Analytical Lexicon of the New Testament most of the time. Sometimes it jumps to ANLEX and soemtimes it jumps to BADG. The times it jumps to BDAG is when the lemma is the same as the form shown in the manuscript. I know the reasoning behind the manuscript form and the lemma form, but my point is that it doesn't seem to matter when using the NA27 or Byzantine texts or the Lexham interlinears. If the link can jumpt to BADG with these resources why not with the Reverse Interlinears?

That's just the way the system is designed. When you double click on the manuscript line that bit of information is not tagged, it is a tag on the English of the Reverse Interlinear. So you are telling the system to look up this word and that word is found in an Analytic Lexicon. Double clicking on the surface text in a morph text (NA27) or a regular interlinear is a double click on a tagged word and the system has the assumption that you want to look up the lemma baked in so it defaults to look for the lemma tag.

I hope this explanation makes sense.
