Online lexicon and Jwlbqnd

[Paul Younan]

Hi John,

No problem. Here's a very quick way to get all the info you need:

(1) The online Lexicon here was created by the Way International, and I use it as one of the resources in my translation work - but it's not the best. When you search for a word here, make note of the "root" in each search result.

(2) In this case, the root is [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Lbq[/font] which when you cut and paste is Lbq in roman characters.

(3) OK - then you go to the CAL at http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/searching/outline...earch.html and you enter those roman characters, but in reverse and without the capitalization! - "qbl"

(4) There are some other minor differences you have to watch out for. For instance, when you see a "4" here, it's really a "$" over there. Here is a complete list of the differences: http://www.peshitta.org/initial/standard.html

You then get your entry.

I know it's not very convenient having the different schemas used here and over there, but with a little practice you should be able to search for anything. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

Take care.
