Adding new defs to the LexicalIndex.xml and extending Strong's numbers? #94
Description
A "vanilla" Strong's number looks something like H430. But OSHB features "extended" Strong's numbers (eg. 6635 b), which (as far as I can tell) account for multiple meanings of the same word, and seem related to the aug field in the (really cool) LexicalIndex.xml. (OSHB also has "extended-extended" Strong's numbers, which look like c/d/5531 b, where the actual Strong's number is 5531, and the the first part c/d/ seems to only account for extra words within a word (eg. prepositions/articles/conjunctions like "in", "the", "and"), and the latter part b is as before).
Where was this extension to Strong's numbers devised, and, more importantly, can it be extended within the OSHB project?
Eg. consider H430. The LexicalIndex.xml def says gods.
<entry id="arn">
<w xlit="ʾĕlōhîm">אֱלֹהִים</w> <pos>N</pos> <def>gods</def>
<xref bdb="a.dl.ad" strong="430" twot="93c"/>
<etym type="sub">arm</etym>
</entry>But what if I'd like to add another <entry> to the xml, to account for the meaning God?
Eg.
<entry id="arn">
<w xlit="ʾĕlōhîm">אֱלֹהִים</w> <pos>N</pos> <def>God</def>
<xref bdb="a.dl.ad" strong="430" aug="a" twot="93c"/>
<etym type="sub">arm</etym>
</entry>
<entry id="arn">
<w xlit="ʾĕlōhîm">אֱלֹהִים</w> <pos>N</pos> <def>gods</def>
<xref bdb="a.dl.ad" strong="430" aug="b" twot="93c"/>
<etym type="sub">arm</etym>
</entry>Notice that I've also added a corresponding aug field to each <entry>.
Can this be done? Does it make sense?
Of course this would require going to every instance of H430 and adding an a or a b postfix (or c, d, etc.), depending on the meaning (and people sometimes disagree in certain verses, like Psa 50.1).
But maybe what I want to do is done / can be done in another way, and I'm just speaking nonsense. Or maybe I've understood nothing about the extended Strong's numbers.
I'm also curious, where does the def field some from?
