Spelling issues in Blayney's 1769
Though modern editions of the KJV claim to be essentially the same as the 1769 standard, Blayney's work still contained some archaic spellings and some inconsistent spellings. Most of these were unified amd corrected in works such as the Scofield Bible that was used as the Reference Text for the earlier editions of the KJV module. Though there is much to be gained by examining the Blayney's 1769, it would be a retrograde step to revert the KJV module to his spellings.
For further details please visit my user page: User:David Haslam/Benjamin Blayney's 1769 KJV.

- I don't think it'd be a backward step. But if so, maybe we fork the KJV as what we have now is not the 1769 Blayney, but rather Old Scofield? There is considerable value in having an accurate text for the Blayney edition. --Dmsmith 11:11, 25 January 2016 (MST)
- Rather than forking the module (which would lead to a lot of extra work), I would prefer to use OSIS markup to record spelling (and punctuation) variants in the various printed editions 1769 to present. David Haslam 04:26, 27 January 2016 (MST)
- It's not as if we don't already have another related module which has become outdated compared to the KJV, namely the KJVA module with the Apocrypha included. The Protocanonical Books for that should ideally have been made to track the KJV module in terms of updates. David Haslam 04:29, 27 January 2016 (MST)
- Rather than forking the module (which would lead to a lot of extra work), I would prefer to use OSIS markup to record spelling (and punctuation) variants in the various printed editions 1769 to present. David Haslam 04:26, 27 January 2016 (MST)
catchWord and osisRef with @s[word]
Not sure why this got removed?
- Add osisRef to catchWord (for now at least, mainly for single keywords).

List of ordinary words that are not found with all lowercase in the KJV main text
- This list may not be complete.
The following 41 ordinary words are not found with all lowercase letters: (i.e. these capitalised words are not names)
Accounting Acquaint Alleluia Associate Backbiters Blotting Choosing Distributing Endeavouring Enflaming Enviest Ephphatha Esteeming Finally God’s Godhead God-ward Hosanna I Launch Listen Maranatha MENE Musician O Outcast Owe PERES Produce Providing Rabbi Raca Remembering Revilest Submitting Talitha TEKEL Traitors UPHARSIN Wherewithal Yes
This list can be used for fine tuning the filtering of a complete words list in order to tabulate names that occur in the KJV text.
My big list now includes words that are in the canonical Psalm titles. David Haslam (talk) 14:39, 5 February 2017 (MST)
List of ordinary words that are also names
- This list may not be complete.
The following 44 ordinary words in the KJV are also names:[1][2][3][4]
Angel Apostle Bishop Branch Creator Death Devil Faithful Father Ghost God Governor Hell Holy High Judge King Lamb Light Lion Lord Lot Master No On One Priest Prince Prophet Put Rock Saviour Sceptre Seer Shepherd Sin Son Spirit Star Strength Sun True Word Wormwood
Notes:
- ↑ That is, they are found capitalised mid-sentence.
- ↑ Some of these are symbolic names for Christ.
- ↑ This list currently excludes uppercase words.
- ↑ Names in the KJV that are ordinary words outside the KJV will not be listed.

List of words containing a hyphen
The following is a counted list of the only 5 words in the KJV containing an ordinary hyphen:
Count Word 00003 God-ward 00001 joint-heirs 00001 thee-ward 00003 us-ward 00003 you-ward
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
Of the 3609 words in the KJV that are proper names, only 2392 have entries in Hitchcock (two thirds of the total). David Haslam (talk) 14:35, 5 February 2017 (MST)
Eleven verses detected with a comma missing
Detailed analysis of the pattern Name Name has detected the following 11 verses that have a comma missing between the two names:
Location Name Name II Chronicles 16:1 Asa Baasha II Kings 12:1 Jehu Jehoash II Kings 13:1 Judah Jehoahaz II Kings 14:23 Judah Jeroboam II Kings 15:27 Judah Pekah II Kings 15:23 Judah Pekahiah Daniel 2:1 Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar Jeremiah 52:30 Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzar–adan Numbers 13:16 Nun Jehoshua II Chronicles 12:2 Rehoboam Shishak II Kings 16:1 Remaliah Ahaz

List of uppercase words in the KJV
This is a list of 40 uppercase words found in the KJV text:
ABOMINATIONS AM AND BABYLON BRANCH EARTH GOD GREAT HARLOTS HOLINESS I IS JAH JEHOVAH JESUS JEWS KING KINGS LORD LORD’S LORDS MENE MOTHER MYSTERY NAZARETH O OF OUR PERES RIGHTEOUSNESS TEKEL THAT THE THIS THY TO UNKNOWN UNTO UPHARSIN
Some of these are parts of multiword names. David Haslam (talk) 09:59, 11 February 2017 (MST)
Multi-word names in the KJV
There are several patterns that match multi-word names in which the two main words are capitalized:
- Name Name
- Name of Name
- Name the Name
- Name in Name
- Name at Name
There are also some three word names, such as:
- Lord Jesus Christ
Yet there are also names in which the major part of the name is not capitalized:
- Isaiah 35:8: And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
- Jeremiah 16:21: Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
- Jeremiah 19:6: Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
- Lamentations 2:15: All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
- Ezekiel 39:11: And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon–gog.
- Amos 5:27: Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
- Zechariah 6:12: And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
- Acts 27:8: And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
- Acts 28:15: And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
- Revelation of John 19:13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Two suspect apostrophes in the apocrypha
A search of the DC books for the regexp [a-rt-z]\x{2019} gave two matches:
- Sirach 8:1: Strive not with a mighty man’ lest thou fall into his hands.
- II Maccabees 7:39: Than the king’ being in a rage, handed him worse than all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.
Most online versions are the same. Both items look suspicious. They don't meet any grammatical rule involving possessives. Further research required. David Haslam (talk) 13:15, 14 February 2017 (MST)
- I also think the first word in 2Macc.7.39 ought to be "Then" and not "Than". David Haslam (talk) 13:22, 14 February 2017 (MST)
Both verses would appear more correct if the right single quotation mark was replaced with a comma:
- Sirach 8:1: Strive not with a mighty man, lest thou fall into his hands.
- II Maccabees 7:39: Then the king, being in a rage, handed him worse than all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.
cf. There are 80 matches in the DC books to the pattern ", being ". David Haslam (talk) 13:28, 14 February 2017 (MST)
Hyphenated words in the KJV Apocrypha
There are only three hyphenated words in the deuterocanonical books, all place names:
Beth-horon Cades-Barne En-gaddi
David Haslam (talk) 15:04, 14 February 2017 (MST)
Spelling: ax or axe ?
Another hapax legomenon to consider:
Baruch 6:15: He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an ax: but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves.
Should this be axe as some online versions have it? cf. The KJV has 13 instances of 'axe' and none of 'ax' other than this in the DC book. David Haslam (talk) 15:20, 14 February 2017 (MST)
