Westminster Hebrew Morphology Module

This module is currently in a testing phase, but there are several features of the module that will need to be supported by the engine and front-ends for the module's full potential to be realized for end-users. Each word has at least one lemma attribute (currently tagged as strongs) and at least one morphology attribute. I will list the potential uses of these features and suggest areas for further development.

1. View morphology entry: Currently works very well in BibleTime when coupled with the whmmorph module. Parsing displays in mag window. In Xiphos parsing codes display but do not look up properly in whmmorph. In BibleDesktop morphology codes do not display.
2. View dictionary entry: Lookup of unicode lemma currently not supported in any front-end.
3. Search for lemma: Not supported currently.
4. Search for morphology: In BibleTime a free syntax search for morph:"@vqw3ms" works. However, you cannot yet search morph attributes using wildcards. So if I wanted to search for all Hebrew Qal verbs, @vq* would not yield any results. In Xiphos an attribute search yields results, but the results are not user-friendly (i.e., not just the text of that module but rather xml). Wildcards also do not seem to work. Search in BibleDesktop does not appear to work for morphology codes.

Front-ends Tested:

• Bibletime 2.8/2.9 beta 1
• Xiphos 3.1.4
• BibleDesktop 1.6
