Poor support for searching words in Peshitta NT vs. Peshitta OT

[Accordance Enthusiast]

The tagging is sometimes different in the Peshitta OT and NT modules, in the spelling of the lexical form.

 

For example, in the Peshitta NT we find the lexeme "ܚܣܝܐ", but if I search for this word in the Peshitta OT, it finds nothing. It turns out that in the Peshitta OT the exact same word is tagged with the lexical form being "ܚܣܝ" (without the determinate/definite particle at the end).

 

This is a general issue with multiple examples. E.g. "ܩܕܝܫܐ" vs. "ܩܕܝܫ" and  "ܚܟܝܡܐ" vs. "ܚܟܝܡ", etc. This issue in tagging makes the Peshitta OT and NT modules inefficient for the great features of Accordance like Right-click > Search in > Peshitta OT, because often it won't find anything until you switch to the different style of marking lexemes.

 

Unless the taggin of the OT and NT modules are brought into harmony, cross-textual searching will not work well.
