More Greek & Hebrew Dictionaries in Word Study for iPad?

Will there be made more Greek & Hebrew Dictionaries/Lexicons available for the word study section on the iPad and linked to the word-study? At the moment I can only see 2 Greek dictionaries/lexicons which are LOUW-NIDA and DBL GREEK and one Hebrew dictionary which is BROWN DRIVER BRIGGS...

Currently not all of our books are available for reading on the mobile applications. However, you should also have access to the Enhanced Strong's Lexicon.

Do you see that in your library?

As far as which resources are pulled up for the Word Study guide, make sure your resources are properly prioritized as per here: http://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing

Thanks,

Hello Hunter, Thank you for your reply, but I checked what you were saying. I do have enhanced strings lexicon in my library including other lexicons like VINES, TDNT etc... I have also done the prioritization on my desktop as per your link. But when I select a word on my iPad in the bible and i choose LOOK UP and then BIBLE WORD STUDY in order to look at that Greek word it takes me to the word study page but then on top it only shows 3 lines. the 1st is the AUDIBLE version of that Greek word, then below that the 2nd line is LOUW-NIDA and then the 3rd line is DBL GREEK.... I fail to see VINES connected to my word study and also ENHANCED STRONGS LEXIXON or TDNT or any other resources, even though they are in my iPad library... If I click on my DBL then once the book is opened then there is links to the STRONGS and TDNT for example: "Str 1097" and "TDNT 1.689" but that is all, it also fails to have Vines...

But when I work on my desktop and then when I right click on a word in the bible and I choose "LEMMA" then it throws out for me all my prioritized lexicons and dictionaries like VINES, ENHANCED, TDNT, DBL, BROWNS etc....

Unless if this feature is not yet available on iPad? If so, will it become available in near future, because I find iPad logos to be brilliant, especially the split screen option and the passage Guide has thumps up, but for me the only thing which is lacking is to do a proper greek/hebrew word study with all my resources, which limits me big time to use LOGOS purely on my iPad when I am traveling for ministry....

Thank you so much for your help...

I know it’s not exactly the same topic but the short definitions displayed by Louw-Nida and the DBL are of such close results that it would seem natural that the defaults would be a little more diversified. Please see my link post. Also I don't see that prioritized resources has any effect on it, since I have manipulated them several times with no change.

Hey Anthony, thanks for your comment. I see what you mean and that is exactly what I tried as well. the prioritization doesn't affect it at all. I hope and trust that they will work on this in the next update. If I can have all my dictionaries like VINES, EDNT, DBL, BDB, TDNT etc in there then it will be great and then this LOGOS would be really worth while. The only main part which is lacking now is the GREEK and HEBREW study in the WORD STUDY section... I would also like it if they can add more english dictionaries for whenever we do an ENGLISH word search, above the default Meriam Webster dictionary.... FINGERS CROSSED THAT IS GETS UPDATED SOON!

Agreed.

My favorite Greek Lexicon Liddell and Scott works well on the iPad. Not sure it is linked to word study though ...

Leon

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE - The NEW Ipad LOGOS APP is out and is brilliant! They did a lot of changes!

Hi Erik and welcome to the forums. Liddell Scott does turn up in the Word Study. That's what the LSJ in my post was referring to.

Unfortunately this doesn't work.

To check this I carried out a BWS on the word "grace" in Philippians 1:2

In Logos 4 on my laptop the results are ordered as per my prioritisation

Whereas on iOS the order of the three lexicons reported is the same (but maybe by chance?) but some are clearly missing

This is effectively the point that is being made in earlier posts in this thread and the issue is still here

Interesting, it seems you are building some credibility here (I still reverted your spam entry in the wiki).
