This topic is just a summary of information found elsewhere on this manual and provides some more advanced information on how theWord behaves in relation to original language modules. Overview Original language Bible modules may contain extra information, apart from the actual text, such as Strong numbers, Morphology codes, Lemmas and more. Modules like that include the Textus Receptus (TR), Westcot-Hort (WHNU), Westminster Hebrew Morphology (WHM), etc . The following extra information can be attached behind each word: STRONG number, STRONG number 2, STRONG NUMBER 3, MORPH tag, LEMMA - root, <generic-messages>. Examples Remember that when a LEMMA is included in a module, then it is being used for the word lookup function. Moreover, dictionaries that are marked as Strong are being looked-up on the root of the words, AND on the strong indices! Let's consider the following questions:
Problem 1: User hovering over a word. Since more than one piece of information may be associated with a word, theWord creates a popup that includes all associated information. Specifically:
Example: let's consider the WHNU module. Suppose we have enabled lookup dictionaries with Mickelson dictionary. Also Strong and Morph are active on the Bible view:
Problem 2: user clicks on a word Normally, clicking on a word will cause the current dictionary entry in all Book views to be updated (e.g. dictionaries will be synced to the word being clicked, see View synchronization). The question now is: since we now have more information behind a word, which part of it should be used to sync the book views? The answer comes from the Word click options category in the Bible view options dialog. if you go to this page, you will see that there are 4 options there, and you can set which of these will be performed and in which order. The question one could set is: what does it mean to lookup all 4 of them? The answer is that it can be used to sync more than one book views! Example Open 4 book views, and set one to RMAC, one to Thayer, one to Mickelson, one to LSJ. Go to 1Cor 1:6 and click the 3rd word μαρτυριον. You will see that all 4 book views are synchronized, each one with a different part (make sure that in Bible view options-> Word click options you have checked the Perform the lookup on all checked items'and that each of the Book view has the Link this view even if inactive checked). You see, clicking on this word, which (in this module) carries 3 pieces of information (STRONG, MORPH, the word itself) you can cause 4 books to get synchronized, each with a different piece of this information (2 of the views, Thayer and Mickelson use the same piece, namely STRONG). Problem 3: what happens when a user right-clicks on a word The answer here should be quite obvious now: for each piece of information, there is a separate Find... menu and a separate Lookup'menu! Maximum 6 of each (Find [word]. Find STRONG, Find STRONG2, Find STRONG3, Find MORPH, Find LEMMA). Of course, each find menu automatically enters the appropriate expression the Bible search view. Same applies for the Lookup: yet, remember that the Lookup logic is always the same: the word being looked up is being search in all subjects of each dictionary/book module. |
