This site is running on the Dokuwiki platform, hosted at the University of Edinburgh. Please use the Contact form to report any issues or provide feedback on the site.

There is an automatically updated Sitemap from which all the publicly accessible pages may be accessed. The latest changes on the site are logged on the Recent changes page.

This site uses Unicode; a separate page offers guidance on fonts used here.

Dokuwiki includes a built-in search function: the search field is in the upper-right corner of the browser window, with the mangifying-glass icon.

Wrap search terms in Hebrew in quotation marks, so "בְּרָכָה" rather than בְּרָכָה.

Filenames used for lexeme entries, whether online or PDF, appear in this form:

mgv_shebil_aitken-j_cam_1999

The various elements are:

• mgv = three letter code from the Lexical Index (see below);
• shebil = simple transliteration of lexeme;
• aitken-j = author identifier, surname-initial;
• cam = three letter code for centre where the entry was produced;
• 1999 = the year of initial publication.

The unique three letter code prefixed to the filename is keyed to BDB, and comes from the Hebrew Lexicon XML files that are part of the OpenScriptures Hebrew Bible project.

The LexicalIndex.xml file is “meeting place of BDB, Strong and the TWOT numbers”, and provides a simple means for a “natural” alpha sort on the lexeme files in our database. We have provided a simple search tool for LexicalIndex.xml which can be used to get simple informatio about a given lexeme, including its unique three letter code.
