Bible word study -- LXX -- labels outside of ring

I'm wondering why some of the Hebrew words outside the LXX ring in the BWS have corresponding English labels and others do not. In the screenshot below, hovering over the red segment displays a popup indicating "rule, dominion" and the blue shows "mastery".

This may be a totally irrelevant question but does your top English Bible include the complete Septuagint?

Where does the translation "freedom of choice" come from? It's a very strange primary "meaning"....

I'm not sure what you mean. Below is my prioritization.

Most of your top Bible are what I refer to as the "NAP" canon - North American Protestant canon. In it, the Septuagint is incomplete. I'll play around with it ... I suspect that the results are explainable.

I was in John 1.12 (ESV), clicked on "right", right-clicked on the lemma in the interlinear, and did a BWS.

Ken,

I ran a BWS on ἐξουσία and got the same result as yours (and am missing the gloss on the Hebrew as you are - this seems a bug)

My question is (completely off your topic): Where does Logos 4 get the information to present "freedom of choice" as the basic translation for ἐξουσία?

I know that this is the very first option given in BDAG ( "1. a state of control over someth., freedom of choice, right") but even in the verses listed thereunder, "right" seems a better fit than "freedom of choice". More importantly, most times the word ἐξουσία is used it is with the meaning of "power" or "authority."

30.122 ἐξουσίαh, ας f: the right to judge on the basis of having the potential to evaluate—‘right, freedom of choice, freedom of action, power to evaluate.’ βλέπετε δὲ μή πως ἡ ἐξουσία ὑμῶν αὕτη πρόσκομμα γένηται τοῖς ἀσθενέσιν ‘but see to it that your freedom of choice does not become a cause of offense to those who are weak (in the faith)’ 1 Cor 8:9.

Martha,

Are you saying something with that quote from LN?

It doesn't actually answer my question....

Saying something - not exactly as I don't claim others' words. But my suspicion is that they took the NT for the base meaning rather than the broader Greek corpus. Suspicion - nothing more.
