Booknames such as "1. Chronicles"?
In the course of my Go Bible activities, I have occasionally seen some booknames that include a full stop after the leading numeral in books such as 1Chr. Example, "1. Chronicles". Not sure how widespread this is in other parts of the world. Even so, it may be worthwhile considering as yet another alias. David Haslam 07:47, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
