What is Andersen Forbes semantic domain coding?
This is actually partially documented in the Andersen-Forbes Glossary document:
For substantives:
For verbs:
Are there any other undocumented Andersen Forbes datatypes in Logos?
Well, this post excludes any morphological and syntax coding but it covers all the Andersen Forbes datatypes I've notice in the Context Menu. The Context Menu is the primary documentation of the existence and values of these datatypes.

Please don't be too hard on us because Google thinks that Mowinkle is either a street/town in Austin, Texas or a custom home builder in Austin! 'Mowinckel' might be closer, but neither is Eissfeldt really familiar. I do get that Eissfeldt provides source codes for the Pentateuch + Joshua and that his datatype is used as a convenience for non-overlapping source codes for Jeremiah. But did we really want to find this feature?

Hey, when I have a visual filter that I need to figure out what it does and why .... and I PAID for this feature so I don't want to mislay it.[;)]

Thank you for this post. I understand the JEDP but where can I find out more about what the K and begegnung labels mean and what they stand for?
