Meaning of lemma notations

[ThomHehl]

Hi, totatl Newb to this project and OSIS, but have been a student of Hebrew for years and wanted to dig deeper.

I'm having a look at the lemma notations. I'm going to post Genesis 1:1-2.

    <verse osisID="Gen.1.1">
      <w lemma="b/7225" n="1.0" morph="HR/Ncfsa" id="01xeN">בְּ/רֵאשִׁ֖ית</w>

    </verse>

It appears that, for example, 1254 is the Strong's number for the Hebrew dictionary. It appears that b/7225 refers to the strong's number 7225, but what does the b/ mean? I also see c/ and d/. I assume there's an a/ somewhere or is that the Strong's.

I apologize, but couldn't find any reference info anywhere for this. These would be good to put into the readme.md, which is currently empty.

Thanks and sorry for the newb question.

Hi @ThomHehl , the morphology codes are explained here: https://hb.openscriptures.org/parsing/HebrewMorphologyCodes.html . The first character are the inseparable prefix notations; b (in, by, with) / c (like, as, according to) / d (definite article). Does that help?

[ThomHehl]

@jag3773 Yes, thank you so much. This would be good thing to put in the readme as well.

I found definite article on this page, but nothing about the other prepositions.

Okay, I have been trying to reconcile the prefixes and suffixes in the lemma codes using the morphology page and I'm lost. I went ahead and created a candidate readme file for this project and I'd like people to review and make whatever changes they wish, but I'd really like the prefixes and suffixes explained there. I have attached it.

Some specific questions.

Are the prefixes "b " and "b/" the same thing? Is it maybe a typo?

I'm assuming that "s/m/" is just "s/" and "m/" stacked. Is that true?

@jag3773 Could I get your help on this, please?
