Completion of Hebrew Syntax Database (HMT-W4 Grammatical Syntax Add-On)?

[Benjamin Noonan]

Recently I've been making good use of the Hebrew Syntax Database (HMT-W4 Grammatical Syntax Add-On) for a book project. It's an excellent, invaluable resource for conducting syntax-related searches. That said, because the last update to it was 11/2/18, and because Isaiah 7-39, 56-66 still remains, I recently contacted Accordance's Customer Service to see if there is an estimated completion date. They weren't able to give me any timeframe and suggested I post my question here, hopefully to get an accurate response and also to benefit other users who may have the same question.

 

So: Is the plan still to finish the HMT-W4 Grammatical Syntax database? If so, are there any estimates as to when it might be completed? (I understand this project is a huge undertaking and hope I don't come across as impatient in asking this; I simply hope to learn what plans there are for the database's completion, since it is such a great resource.)

Yes, I am committed to finishing this summer. Isaiah *is* a difficult book and my work has been interrupted by a number of non-academic events. But I will finish it this summer.

Any updates on this?

The Accordance page for the module doesn't list any updates since 2018 (https://www.accordancebible.com/product/grammatical-syntax-add-on-to-hmt-w4/), and I haven't heard anything. Perhaps Dr. Holmstedt can speak again to when this will be completed; I assume he'll see our two posts here.

Between covid and my father's passing, I am still year behind (on many projects). I was able to become productive again in July so I am slowly making progress.
