Hi Manfred,

I'm curious as to what module you are using to look up these keys?  I'm under 
the understanding that looking up values like "TH8804" won't return a valid 
result, as we don't have a lexicon containing these keys?

I'm using this forum thread to justify my answer:  
http://www.crosswire.org/forums/mvnforum/viewthread_thread,772

On this note, I'm going to show an error message in PocketSword when someone 
tries to look up one of these Morphology codes, and the error message will be:

"Unfortunately, Morphological Analysis Codes are only currently available for 
Greek words.  If you have the language ability and are willing to help bring 
this feature to PocketSword, please take a look at <br /> openscriptures.org<br 
/>and join the discussion group there."

Is anyone who is active with openscriptures.org able to comment on this?  :)  I 
don't want to use this text if it's not correct, but if I'm able to refer some 
possible volunteers to help with the work there, I'm hoping that would be 
constructive?  :)

Thanks all, ybic
        nic...  :)

ps: Manfred, I'll check in my code to SVN later today & you can check out how 
I'm going to do Morph stuff.  :)

pps:  Thanks for your reply, Troy, it helps with what I'm doing  :)
