Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up.

This tip is based on the forum posts: How do I get the morphological data to persist for comparison? - Faithlife Forums (logos.com) and Ambiguity in Bible morphology - How to see alternatives? - Faithlife Forums (logos.com)

We usually see the morphology coding for a Bible as a popup at the bottom of the page. This view is temporary. To see it persist, an easy solution is to view the morphology in the Word by Word section of the Exegetical Guide. This view also allows us to see alternative coding offered by other morphological coding systems in our library. To view them, hover over the plus-minus sign which appears at times in the second line (morphology and grammatical role line). Alternative morphologies are not common. I find James 5:4 is a useful test text.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
