Can someone please explain how to interpret the #'s in the brackets. For example: Heb. 1:1 the word "spake." strongs # 2980. Then, [G5660} How do I take the 5660 to break down the TVM? Which number stands for which?

hi

you have to use the dict TMV to see the numbers in the brackets

[Brinck Syverson]

I think I get it now! The regular Strong's only has 5624 entries for Greek. The TVM adds entries after that to cover all the TVM for each word. Thus, a verb with the number G5660, though not in Strong's original has been added. Strong's original only lists the base verb form. Do I have it right?

[patchworkid]

that sounds right

[DoctorDaveT]

now, set your tooltip dictionary to "TVM" and watch what happens when you simply mouseover those TVM codes....

Yeah, baby!!! That's what I'm talkin' about! Thanx so much guys!!

Hi Brink,
Some information that also might come in handy for you:

• The letter "G" = Greek
• The letter "H" = Hebrew

You can have a 123, without the the G or H prefix and you won't get a thing. Place a G123 you get the Strong's numbered tooltip for G123. Have a H123, and you get the Hebrew one.

Strong's numbers automatically work in all editors with all Dictionary which uses that system. Of the Strong numbered Dictionary, you have choose anyone of them to be displayed in the tooltip. You can select a different Dictionary to display Hebrew definition from the one that displays the Greek definition.

I have the BDB Dictionary to display the Hebrew definitions in the tooltip, and for Greek definitions I have Thayer's displayed in the tooltip.

I hope this bit of extra information will be helpful to you in your the way you may want to choose your Dictionaries to be displayed in the tooltips.

Blessings,
