Right-click in LXX-no Greek lookup?

Couldn't manage to capture a pic of the right-click menu, but when I right-click this word and select the Greek lemma, I don't get any option to look it up in my Greek lexicons. I checked my Septuagint lexicon and the word is there.

    Hi Pam,

    Those options should be there already. When I right click on a Greek word in one of those resources and choose either Selection or Lemma on the right side, a list of dictionaries and lexicons appears on the left side. Are you able to open the Greek lexicons from Library? If you can, would you attach a screenshot that shows the LXX resource and context menu? 

    Edit:  You were attaching your screenshot as I was writing my post.  :o)   The word you have selected doesn't display the lexicons. Try the word to the right of the word highlighted above--it will. I don't know Greek, so I don't know why that word works differently, but I can check into it.

     Thanks,
    Melissa

    The Lemma is misspelt. προσκαλλάω instead of προσκολλάω.

    I'd suggest reporting a typo, but that function doesn't seem to be there

    Thanks Damian, that explains it!  I'll report the typo.

    I just came to the same conclusion as Damian. Thanks!
