Word Definitions

I am using the latest rendition of Logos for IOS and the ESV version to read. I have installed the Strongs Dictionary however when I do a "look up" of the word "condemned" in Galatians 2:11 I do not get the correct definition of the word "condemned". Instead it looks up "eimu" (I think that is the correct spelling. What am I doing wrong or perhaps someone knows what the underlying problem is? In another product the word "condemned" is correctly defined.

EDIT: It works properly on my MBP running L5.2 B1.

EDIT: The Greek word is "eimi" NOT "eimu". Sorry!

Hi Bob

I get the results as shown below - which seems to be correct

Is this different to what you are seeing?

What I failed to mention was when you click on "Bible Word Study" you get the definition of the word "eimi" instead of the definition for the word "condemn".

I see what you mean now[:)]

I guess the problem is that it is difficult for the developers to know which word you actually want to run the BWS against.

This is solved in the desktop product by showing both (or more) words in the right-click menu and the user choosing which they want. To address this issue fully we would probably need something similar in the mobile app

I wonder if it is feasible to run BOTH words in the case of multiples? My logic says that the main word if you click on "condemn" should be that same word. I am not literate in the original languages but it displays correctly in another product (iOS) and of course it displays correctly in the desktop version.

I am not sure if this is fixable on the iOS version and if so how do I go about notifying someone.

but it displays correctly in another product (iOS)

Hi Bob

Please clarify this? I thought it was iOS where there was the problem?

I have another Bible study product (Not Logos) and the definition is keyed correctly in that product.

thanks for the clarification.

hopefully someone from Logos will see this thread and comment on how feasible it is to give options of which lemma to choose or some other mechanism to achieve this

Thank you Graham for your help and concerns regarding this issue. I hope someone at Logos also sees this thread and can provide some insight. Thanks again.
