[sword-devel] CrossWire online Bible Study tool errors

[pierre amadio]

Hello.

>> I don't know which module this is or where it came from.

DM's example came from the LXX module, so I had a closer look.

>>  If you click a word which isn't highlighted but should be from the strongs number search, then right-click and choose "inspect" I found in the case I investigated that the word didn't have the correct strong's number.

The information shown in the web result for say, Gen 10:12 is wrong
indeed for several words in the sentence, including μεγάλη, which
should have been highlighted in the first place as it match G3173 but
is shown as being associated with G3588.

Note that:

1) the Strong's number tagging for this verse is correct in the LXX
module when viewed with xiphos.
2) The source document for the LXX does not contain any Strong's
number information, those have been added from external source: it is
most possible there are some errors here and there.
3) As the Strong lexicon for greek cover only the words present in the
new testament, there is an important number of words not tagged in the
LXX because they occurs only in the old testament.

If you click a word which isn't highlighted but should be from the strongs number search, then right-click and choose "inspect" I found in the case I investigated that the word didn't have the correct strong's number.  I don't know which module this is or where it came from.  I am glad the modules team has remained active over the years, but we haven't had a consistent leader there and at least one person on that team repeatedly ignores me when I ask them not the change the source for a module without research into the pedigree of the source text.  Many of the texts our modules team had used for modules in the past years, I suspect, originated from us== from a Bible Foundation text, which was taken by Blue Letter Bible or someone else and then our team went and pulled that module as the source.  But that's another topic.
