I have not seen any new modules for Bible Translations in a while. 

 

Also i would love to see a Hebrew and a Greek NUMBERED lexicon/dictionary that provides more than just the ROOT words. Why not make an exhaustive replacement for Strongs #'s using every single word found in the manuscripts. A different number for each tense etc. 

 

The technology is now here to provide a number for every variant word used, not just the root words like the 19th century Strongs did.

 

For example, in Gen 1:2  It says "And the Earth was...  The Strongs number for 'was' in this verse is H1961 'hayah".  But the manuscript has "hay'Tah".  There is NO Strongs number for haytah. It just gives us the root word "hayah".

 

Time to replace Strongs numbers with a new numbering system that includes every variant word that is in the manuscripts.  I'm throwing down this challenge to all you techies.

 

Why not do what NO ONE has ever done before.

 

Provide a resource that would allow every 'diligent disciple' to do their own translation using manuscripts keyed to a comprehensive lexicon.  Presently anyone using a Strongs numbered lexicon is not going to be accurate because of the myriad of variants that ROOT words only won't decipher..

This the reason why  Robinson's Morphological Analysis Codes are used in Greek.
There are 1119 Robinson's Morphological Analysis Codes used in my Restored Textus Receptus  with 5472 Strong's Numbers
I can read those morphological codes without a dictionary because I understand the system.

So do you want to do double Strong's Numbers(normal and extra) or Strong's in decimals with a dictionary because nobody can read it without a dictionary? Bad idea.

There is also for Hebrew a commentary module that has the morphological info: ETCBC.cmti by Eliran Wong

Using your "was" example in Gen 1:2

הָיְתָ֥ה‎|hāyᵊṯˌā|היה‎|be
verb, qal, perfect, third person, feminine, singular
__

verb
qal stem: simple stem.
perfect state: a completed action.
third person singular of "be"
gender: feminine.

Your idea is interesting, however what you want would require some serious reworking of e-Sword's coding as it is currently coded to Strong's numbers only. 

I am not sure how multiple Strong's numbers for each derivative would work or look
