Hi Everyone,

Here's a comprehensive response to five emails in this thread.

Darrell,

It's great to have the actual language words, but you also overwrote the references:
2. אַב (Aramaic) corresponding to אָב: father.
should say 'corresponding to 1:' for navigation purposes.

Now there's something else for me to compare.

Weston,

Yes, a standard format would be essential to have.  I have a Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, in OSIS, with a lot of extra information.  It is derived from David Instone-Brewer's 2-Letter Lookup PHP file (another format).  The OSIS I use stretches the bounds a little, and since Bible Technologies has been dormant since March 2006, the promised lexicon format has not appeared.

Ulrik Sandborg-Peterson's is a good work.  I have refered to it in my own work on the Greek.

Daniel,

The wiki idea may work, if each entry is packaged as a separate XML fragment, that could then be integrated into a complete file, or saved, entry-wise, in a database, indexed by the Strong number.

I'm attaching an XSLT style sheet, that will take an entry from my OSIS dictionary and transform it for display, along with a sample web page showing the display.  Something like this could work very nicely.

I don't know anything about MDF, but perhaps transformations could be made to and from XML for storage.

Weston,

The idea of collaboration is great.  I've already mentioned to Darrell that just the moral support is heartening.  It's nice to know,=2
0after all this time working alone, that there really are others out there who share the same interest.  Though, I've been on my own all this time, so I have no idea about working with SVN, or where the collaborative efforts could be posted.

Peace,

David
