[resolved] language tools
I love the way Hebrew and Greek tools and wordlists are available in Logos 6. Is there any chance a tool for Syriac and Aramaic will come available?? I would love to see that being added.

What can't you do in those languages, or what is not available?

Dave when I want to do a word study from the Peshita, the word wheel isn't available for that. It also would be helpful to have like with Greek and Hebrew the alphabet charts and the word lists. It will greatly help in the study of the Syriac language. Ever since my first year of Theology when I cane across the Peshita I've been intrigued by it and want to be able to read it and get as much out of this ancient translation of the bible as possible. Aramaic wordlists for each of the bible books in which they occur would be helpful too.

Geertruida,
Word Lists can be generated from various sources, including e.g. selected text, so they work for biblical languages including Syriac. Does this help?
Have joy in the Lord!

Mick this would be helpful, but I do see from your post that it is in beta testing, so is it already available in what we have now in Logos 6?

While Mick is beta testing the next release the functionality he describes in his post is in the current stable version - and has been for some time.

Afaik, yes. I have no working stable installation currently, so I can't prove, but there have been no changes to the Word List features that I know of in the beta cycle. Just try for yourself!
Have joy in the Lord!

I tried it out and it does generate word lists and also lemma's do work, so I'm pleased with that. I can;t detect word wheels yet for this, so hopefully that will be coming too.

Word wheels require Reverse Interlinears, and I seriously doubt they'll be a Peshitta reverse interlinear in the near future. You can do morph searches though, including analysis searches, which will give you most of the information from the translation wheel, albeit in a slightly less friendly format.

Thanks Mark, this will have to do for the present and keep hopes on that someday in the future a less tedious way will come along.
