When will Holmstedt Grammatical Syntax add-on be completed

Is this project still on-going? Without the full tagging, results will be skewed when searching any query including Isaiah.

@Robert Holmstedt can reply here when he gets a free moment. He is really busy. I could move this to Original Languages as well.

I recognize the problems of an incomplete database. Indeed, since I use the database in much of my published research output, I am acutely aware. However, for anyone who has not read Isaiah in Hebrew, it is often more challenging than Job. I continue to pick away at the material, but since the once 10-person project is down to a 1-person show, it will continue to take time.

Your database in the construct search is the best thing in Accordance. Many thanks.

@Robert Holmstedt thank you for taking the time to visit this thread and for providing us with an update on the project!

The funding ran out years ago! It's been just me since 2017 (?).

 

Those who like to use the database -- I want you to know that the incomplete status is on my mind *all* the time, not only because I sense the failure it is until I finish it, but because I actually really enjoy the work (but simply cannot carve out enough time).

No, Robert; it is just incomplete and almost finished. I for one am glad that you are the one handling the most difficult Hebrew near the end of the project, however long it takes.

Reminds me of the Jesus healing narrative.

 

Robert's Hebrew Syntax was a blessing to use in my Hebrew classes in seminary, and it is one valuable tool.
