Hello,

I am in the process of updating the OSHB module. I have a valid OSIS file of the text, but I have a few questions about markup for effective display in SWORD.

1. I have lemmas of the form lemma="c/d/776" and lemma="5921 a", where the c/d encodes the prefixes on the word, the numbers are Strong numbers and the 'space a' represents an 'augment' for the Open Scriptures Hebrew Lexicon, to tie in to Brown, Driver, Briggs. My thought was to do something like: lemma="pre:c/d strong:776" and lemma="strong:5921 aug:a". Would this give better presentation that we have currently? Or is there a better way?

2. Some of the words have morphology attributes, like morph="HC/Td/Ncfsa". These are coded to the Hebrew Morphology Codes <http://openscriptures.github.io/morphhb/parsing/HebrewMorphologyCodes.html>. If they need a prefix, I was thinking of something like morph="hmc:HC/Td/Ncfsa".

3. The words themselves have 'morphological divisions', like וְ/הָ/אָ֗רֶץ. These are meant to separate the prefixes from the main word. We have used <seg> elements in the past, <seg>וְ</seg><seg>הָ</seg><seg>אָ֗רֶץ</seg>. Would this approach require <seg> around every word, or only those words that have actual division slashes?

This came up because I tried making the module directly from the OSIS, without prefixes. I found both the lemmas and morphs all jumbled together and superimposed over each other, under each word, when I tested the module in Xiphos. I would like to automate the process of preparing the text for SWORD, as much as possible, so future updates won't be so labor intensive.

Your help will be appreciated.

Peace,

David
