DBL Greek lexicon link problems

jtondee said:

When i mouse over the Link for TDNT with the volume and number it shows the exact same location of DBL that im in (also it won't allow me to click on the TDNT number and open the book). I have TDNT prioritized above the DBL in my library. It also does the same with strongs numbers they show up with the same DBL entry.

DBL Greek is "stealing" these references because it can handle them as well as the TDNT and Strong's resources!  My solution is to restrict DBL Greek to Greek words and  DBL Hebrew to Hebrew words and let the TDNT, TWOT and Strong's links fall to the appropriate prioritised resource (many resources can handle Strong's!). The wiki should show you how to restrict a resource.

So a lot depends on which resources that a person uses and how they want them prioritized.

I agree. Prioritizing is personal and involves compromise. My solution works because DBL is my preferred lexicon(s) and I prioritize the other lexicons below them so that they cannot "steal" Greek/Hebrew/Aramaic words.

i use the ESL which also wants to steal TDNT & TWOT links.

My prioritisation (different rationale!) avoids that as follows

• DBL Gk    --->restricted to Greek
• Louw-Nida
• TDNT
• other Greek lexicons
  
• DBL Aram  --->restricted to Aramaic
• DBL Heb  --->restricted to Hebrew
• other Hebrew/Aram lexicons
• TWOT
• ESL

Note that I don't care which resources display Strong's numbers, but ESL will pick up the scraps!

Maybe a new wiki page which would show other examples of using Advanced Prioritization

My indirect mention of the wiki  was because your previous link to Example 3 shows how to do it for ESL  i.e. choose Greek for DBL Greek. In isolation I would have been more explicit.

Another option is prioritizing resources (primarily lexicons) with language headwords before lexicons with Strong's numbering (e.g. DBL) and using advanced prioritization so links within DBL pop-up to other lexicons.  Also can prioritize Enhanced Strong's Lexicon (ESL) so Strong's numbers within ESL pop-up to ESL while TDNT, TWOT, and GK pop-up to other lexicons:

Note: DBL Aramaic has index for Hebrew Strong Numbers.  Also, Louw-Nida Greek-English Lexicon does not have Strong's numbering, but no other Lexicon has Louw-Nida semantic domain indexing so can be placed at bottom of my lexicon prioritization list (personal choice: just after ESL that ends my lexicons with Strongs numbering).

In resources with lemma's and Strong's numbering, right click menu can have different lexicon choices:

Note: lemma list includes Little Kittel TDNT.

Note: Strong's list includes unabridged Kittel TDNT.

For ESL entry, can open DBL Greek, then hover mouse over Strong's number (or click Strong's number to open ESL).

By the way, personally prefer Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament for cognate words listed with lemma:
