Confusion of GK and Strongs keys in Research query


Λύχνις Δαν

Recommended Posts

Hi ya,

 

  In investigating http://www.accordancebible.com/forums/topic/15782-rahlfs-psa-4810-%E1%BC%90%CE%BA%E1%BD%B9%CF%80%CE%B1%CF%83%CE%B5%CE%BD/I was running a English Research query against all texts looking for [KEY G2869]. I got back various results that made sense and then this one :

 

MOUNCE-NT

Acts 25:15 … asking for a guilty verdict against him.
 

Verdict was not a translation I'd hit before for κοπαζω. Then I discovered that this is a GK Greek key and that G2869 in GK means καταδίκη.

 

So my question is this : is there a way to constrain a key search to a particular key system in Research queries ?

 

Thx

D

No, there isn't, so I suggest creating user groups for texts with Strong's versus G/K numbers (NIV and Mounce-NT).

thanx Helen, that'll work. It's not a common occurrence, at least for me. If it were, an addition to the command syntax might be worthwhile.

 

Thx

Daniel, you could also do a KEY search for the transliteration (  [KEY kopazo]  ), successfully searching across 'S' and 'GK' texts.

Well someone could I guess. I never actually learned transliteration. I can sort of stumble through translit. if I have to for Greek. I prefer to use the original script (except for Akkadian where the translit. is more or less a necessity). Does the [KEY ?] take original language script also ? Can I do [KEY κοπαζω] ?

 

Thx

I get the transliteration just by looking at the ID for the key I'm interested in. Sorry, can't write it in the Greek or Hebrew for now.

Ok thanx. I note I just had to edit my post above getting confused from translit. to Greek. Argggh ! Anyhow, thanx for the tip. That is also a useful thing. I only have the one G/K bible which I don't use often but it may on occasion be useful to be able to search across both like this. That's also where a [KEY ] system specifier would be handy so you could do [KEY G2869@S, G4203@GK] for example.

 

Anyhow, various options for now.

 

Actually on the translit. Here is the ID for the case I'm interested in :

 

ceased  G2869  κοπάζω   kopazō  

[GNT28-T] ἐκόπασεν ekopasen  Verb 3 sing aor act indic  to stop, cease, rest (Predicate)

 

I cannot get the ō. Do I need to set a special keyboard mapping for this or is c & p my friend here ? Actually I cannot get c&p to enter that in an English or Greek Research query. The paste only pastes in kop.

 

thx

Daniel, the transliteration options come either from a simplified version of the transliteration you see in ID (so just kopazo in your case), or from the transliteration shown in the Enter Key Numbers... list (also kopazo in this case, sometimes different).

Ah ok. For some reason I was having trouble typing it in. I seem to have it now.

 

Thx
