Using all lexica

I just began using my new iPad and I know I can access my commentaries thru the passage guide.  Is there a way to access all my Greek or Hebrew lexica as I can do thru the exegetical guide in L4?  Word study is limited to only a few lexica AFAIK. There must be a way. Thanks for any help.

    Joan - There isn't an "exegetical guide" on the mobile app. Do you mean through the "Bible Word Study"?By "Lexica," do you mean resources, or information within those resources (pardon my ignorance)? Is "Lexica" and "Lexicons" synonymous?

    AFAIK, the Bible Word Study is limited to three resources. It would be my understanding that these would be your top three prioritized lexicons, but I don't think that this prioritization has migrated to the new sync infrastructure (yet).

    In the likely event that I have completely misunderstood your question, could you ask again?[:)]

    Simply, I am asking for the more savvy iPad users if there are work arounds so I can use all my lexica, including EDNT, NIDNTT, etc. without having to,open them singularly and fish for a lemma. I know there is no exegetical guide and am aware the word study uses my top three lexica.

    If you have a collection of Lexica that shows up in your search tool, then a work around is as follows.  While you have your Bible Word Study open to the lemma of interest, copy the lemma (double tap it),  then open a basic search and select your collection of lexicons.  Then paste the lemma in the reference box and tap search.  It works better at times than other times, but if you scroll down you may find the lexicon you looking for, which will open to the correct location. The search tool at the bottom of the screen can be accessed to that particular search until you run another search.

    Great idea, Jerry. I thought there might be a way to search on a collection of lexica, just couldn't figure out how to get the lemma there.  Thanks for your help!  You seem quite skilled with the Logos app as I peruse this forum.  Your comments always make me think.

    That is true. It will be nice when that happens
