Dear Open Scriptures,

Thanks so much for sharing such an excellent resource!

I'm developing a vocabulary builder for the iPhone/iPad (bible-vocab.com) and I'd like to use Open Scriptures as the basis for my OT database. I've got it mostly working except that I think I've found a few places where the lexical index in the Hebrew Lexicon slightly mismatches with the Morphological Bible. The Morphological Bible has words marked with the numbers 176, 3635 and 7451 without augments but the lexical index has multiple entries for these three numbers (i.e. with augments).

Do you understand what I mean? I assume the appropriate response might be to put the appropriate augment at the corresponding words in the Morphological Bible or collapse the Lexicon entries.
I'm trying to fix these references by hand in my sqlite database but I thought I should let you know in case you want to adjust the xml files in the repository.

Thanks again for all your work.

Rob

176 has a lot of references. Could you pinpoint the problem cases. They
need to be fixed.
3635 was divided and the references were never recorded that way. I'll
look into this.
7451 I am aware of. BDB didn't give a complete listing for the
references, so the missing ones are being corrected as I come across them.

Hi Rob,

There has been a significant update to the WLC in the past few days.
Try downloading the new files:
https://github.com/openscriptures/morphhb/tree/master/wlc
I checked 176 and 3635, and found no problems. 7451 is a known issue.
It has over 200 instances that need to be resolved. As I come to them,
I am fixing them.

David

Dear David,

Thanks for the news about the update to the WLC. I've downloaded the new data and I'm now uploading an update to my app to the App Store right now.
I see that there is no longer a mismatch with 176 and 3635. The issue with 7451 is not a big deal.

Thanks for your help.

Robert
