DM,
For some reason my emails are not coming through. Here is my initial
response:
***
This module has never worked, as far as I can tell. I never was able to
chase down why or convince Chris (who first put it up) to fix it. Thanks
for calling attention to this, DM.
Now the source file has many corrections to the markup and data
(https://github.com/translatable-exegetical-tools/Abbott-Smith/blob/master/abbott-smith.tei.xml).
So I suggest a new module needs to be made. I am having trouble
validating on my Mac, but must have to do with my setup. If someone can
run xmllint and fix any validation problems, I would appreciate that.
I would also appreciate someone creating a new module. It has been a
long time since I have been able to successfully compile and test a TEI
module. If someone has time and expertise to do this, I would be
grateful because the TEI lexicon module creation cycle is a series of
mysteries to me.

To answer your question about the NT occurrences, we added this to make
the source file more useful for things like generating vocabulary lists,
etc. It can safely be removed using XSLT for the purpose of creating a
SWORD module. In the Github repository you can see the scripts I created
years ago to create a SWORD module. I suspect you could cook up
something better off the top of your head, but feel free to have a look.
You can also safely add the zero filling to the Strong's numbers. But
the source file is set up with the actual Greek lexeme as the entry @n
because it is not Strongs. And that is how it should be. I wish the
engine could deal properly with this. The Strong's numbers are a sort of
legacy hack to support texts that are tagged using Strong's numbers. But
now we have a better text that is not tagged with Strong's (the
morphgnt-sblgnt module). Other texts should be deprecated and lexicon
modules keyed to Greek lexemes.
It is one of my frustrations that the Sword engine has never adequately
supported real Greek lexemes, as you find in the morphgnt-sblgnt module.
The Abbott-Smith module has Strong's numbers only because that is the
quickest hack to connecting words in legacy texts to real lexicon
entries. But it should not always be so. We should be moving away from
Strong's numbers and toward something more up-to-date. I believe Troy
worked on this issue at one time (we sat down at SBL in 2011 to do
this), but I have never seen it fully supported by the frontends.

Based on your and Karl’s reply, I’m going to move it to the experimental part
of the repository.
Best I can tell, it doesn’t work because the Strong’s number isn’t zero filled
and I’ve not found any support for Strong’s numbers that aren’t padded.
To rebuild the module, we have to change the Strong’s numbers from G1 to G0001,
G2 to G0002 and so forth. It was a nice idea to have the Strong’s numbers and
the Greek words as separate entry. It’s not practical, especially since they
are fully accented.
To create a module from the TEI source (Thank you Daniel for the work you’ve put into it. I see that
you are a major contributor.) one needs to cut the <entry>…</entry> out of the file into
it’s own file, then run that through tei2mod. There’s a bug in all of the TEI dictionary modules where
the <entry …> is not in the module, but </entry> is. tei2mod should have kept both or
dropped both.
If I were to make the module, I’d use xslt to transform the xml. The one thing that I think
is missing in the entry is the word. It is represented in the <orth> element, but it
is not the same. I also find it odd that there is a leading <note> with the number of
occurrences in the NT. I’ve not looked at the pdf to see where that came from.

Well, I’ve created a new Windows 7 VM and installed the KJV and also
AbbottSmith using The SWORD Project for Windows (BibleCS) Install Manager. I’m
not able to get the module to work in BibleCS.
As far as I can tell it loads but doesn’t work in Xiphos. I show Strong’s in the
KJV. Click on a number, any number and I get the same entry. As far as I can tell
it is the last entry. Once I get there, clicking the up and down arrows on the
dictionary will make the program crash. (I can deliberately, reliably repeat the
crash.) The dropdown list contains >, G1, G1, G1, …., which is wrong. If I
manually search for a number by prefixing it with a G, I’ll get the entry,
indicating it is linked.
I’m running the Windows version that I just downloaded from the xiphos.org
<http://xiphos.org> site.

Betreff: [sword-devel] AbbottSmith module question
The AbbottSmith module has excellent content. I’m having some problems getting
it to work in any SWORD or a JSword front-end (due to bugs in JSword).
I’m wondering how it is supposed to work in a SWORD front-end.
It is keyed to Strong’s numbers. Each Strong’s number begins with the letter G
and is followed by the number, but not padded. These are sorted as:
*blank key*
G1
G10
G100
G1000
G1001
….
G2
G20
G200
….
and so forth.
(The first two entries in the modules are bugs, probably in the module making
utility. But that is another issue.)
Each of these entries is linked to the entry for the corresponding Greek word.
These are fully accented words. In the index they are sorted according to their
upper case representation. They follow the entries beginning with G.
In my Windows VM, I’m not able to get the KJV to show up in either Xiphos or
The SWORD Project for Windows. (Others have reported this problem. And I’m not
interested in “going there.”) As such I can’t determine if I were to use
AbbottSmith as a Greek Strong’s Dictionary how it would or if it’d work.
In Him,
DM Smith
