Greek morphology codes with expanded explanations in terms of parsing, meaning and example

BRIEF LEXICAL MORPHOLOGY CODES

These codes are used in the Lexicon. They are used to define the the word, and not each individual instance of the word.

• Form is: Language:Function-Gender-Type

• Example: "a Samaritan" is N:N-M-LG where:

Part	Example	Description
Language	N:	a Name (a special form of 'language' because it isn't restricted to one language);
Function	N	the function Noun;
Gender	M	Male;
Type	L, G	Location, Gentilic (i.e. defining a group of people).

• Some traditional Strong numbers refer to more than one word, e.g. G1508= "εἰ μή" which is "G:COND + G:Neg" (note the space either side of "+")

• Some refer to single words that are formed by merging words, e.g. G2504= "κἀγώ" which is G:Conj+G:P (note no space either side of "+")

• Some words have alternate morphologies for different uses, e.g. G0894= "wormwood" is G:N-F / N:N--T (note the spaces either side of "/".) The first is the Noun "wormwoed" and the second is the Name of star. (The double "--" occurs because this Name does not have a gender.)
