UGL Phase Goals¶
Phase 1 Goal¶
- Proofread and edit the digital copy of Abbott-Smith’s Manual Greek Lexicon of the NT (A-S) to make it match the printed version
Phase 2 Goal¶
- Update A-S to make it more usable for Bible translators so that speakers of English as a second language can use it, and so that it can be translated into other world languages (called LWCs [languages of wider communication] or GLs [gateway languages]) and used by mother-tongue translators of minority languages who can access those languages.
In keeping with that goal, we need to make the following changes to A-S:
- Translate and spell out all abbreviations, Latin or English (see Abbreviations)
- Update any archaic English
- Write definitions to accompany A-S glosses
- Delete any references to other English reference books (e.g. MM, Blass, Jannaris), since these will not be available to the users of our lexicon
- Make sure that the information from A-S is in the correct place in the markdown file. Examples include Glosses that were put in the Definition field or Explanation field. For reference, the PDF version of Abbott-Smith that was used to form the baseline for Phase 1 can be found at link.
Note
Explanation is optional data for Phase 2 of the project but is used for comments to explain a word’s usage.
The full syntax for these lemma files is defined in Markdown (see Markdown). Here is an example of a lemma file before and after editing:

Note
In this documentation, the term View mode (sometimes called markdown mode) refers to what is visible from the Door43 access to a specific .md file. When moving to the Edit mode, all lines of the file are visible to support editing. Using the Preview button will, temporarily, take you to View mode, to verify the displayed contents of your edits. The convention of enclosing data descriptions within curly brackets has been used for the discussion below.
Assignments¶
Issues¶
A Door43 Issue has been created for each letter of the Greek alphabet. An individual is assigned, or self-assigns themselves, to be responsible for editing all of the lemmas for that letter, using the Door43 Assignee field.
To work on an Issue
- Click on Labels to add the blue In Progress label to that issue once you begin work on it. For each of these Issues the person responsible for review of that editing will be identified as a Door43 Participant. These Issues will be used to track the progress of the project at a top level.
Content¶
The project’s data files are all under the folder content. A subfolder for each Strong’s Plus ID (5 digits long) has been created which has a single file, 01.md, to store the lemma data.
Note
If you open the project’s content folder, you will be presented with an Index page with each of the over 6000 Strongs IDs shown. Selecting one will move you into the View mode for the given lemma.
To more easily access these individual lemma files¶
- Open the ugltoc.md file in the templates folder for a list of the Table of Contents (TOC) files for each letter, or
- Open one of the letter’s TOC files: templates/{Greek letter}/{Greek letter}toc.md, e.g. templates/alpha/alphatoc.md .
In the file ugltoc.md, four columns exist for each letter which have links to the 4 different TOC files for each letter, where each of these will supply links to the associated lemma files for that letter:
- The Instances column for the TOC file with links to words sorted by their instance count. This TOC file, alone, also has a link, labeled refs, for each lemma to a separate page that lists every instance of that lemma, and this in our Project’s standard Scripture reference format.
- The Word Sort column for the TOC file with links to words sorted by their Strong’s Plus ID
- The Undefined column for the TOC file with links to the lemmas that were assigned a temporary, undefined Strong’s Plus ID
- The Inserted column for the TOC file with links to the lemmas which Alan Bunning has pre-assigned for instances that were not in the Abbott-Smith lexicon.
For example, for the letter Alpha:
- The Instances TOC file is named templates/alpha/alphainsttoc.md
- The Word Sort TOC file is named templates/alpha/alphatoc.md
- The Undefined TOC file is named templates/alpha/alphaundeftoc.md
- The Inserted TOC file would be templates/alpha/alphainsrtedtoc.md
Once you have been assigned a letter for editing, you should begin your task using the associated Word Sort TOC file, working through the associated lemmas from most frequently used to less frequently used.
Note
These TOC files do not include the lemmas for each letter which were Inserted by Alan Bunning, nor do they include the Undefined lemmas for each letter that were assigned at the project’s file creation time. See the discussion below.
When you have finished your edits, or finished for the day, for a lemma file you should Commit your changes, leaving the bullet checked for “commit directly to the master branch”. If you are at a point where you want to have the lemma file checked for syntax, send an email to Dave Statezni providing him the Strong’s Plus ID. He will then run the syntax checker against your file with the results from that checker emailed directly to you for review. When you have finished the edits for one or more lemma files (see Markdown), you will need to create a Pull Request (see Creating a Pull Request). When that change has been merged into the main repository by one of the project’s administrators, the syntax checker will automatically be run against any changes for that day and email the results back to the originator of the change. Once you have completed editing for all lemmas in the Word Sort TOC file for a letter, you will need to move to the associated Inserted and Undefined TOC files to complete all of the work for each letter.
Each letter’s TOC files list all of its lemmas across and then down, showing both the Greek word and the Strong’s Plus ID.
At the top of each file are links back to the UGL TOC file and to one of the other TOC files for that letter, e.g. the Word Sort TOC files have links to their associated Undefined {Greek letter} TOC file, e.g. templates/alphaundeftoc.md.
The latter of these also appears at the bottom of the file, along with a link back to the top of the file. For each letter there are a set of lemmas from the Abbott-Smith lexicon and its parsing that did not have a Strong’s ID, had multiple Strong’s IDs, or had a letter appended to the Strong’s ID. These were arbitrarily assigned a Strong’s Plus ID greater than G99000. As editor for a letter, part of your responsibility is to identify (and possibly create) the Strong’s Plus ID (5 digits long) for each of these. Once that data has been added, plus any other data needed to complete the lemma file for these Undefined Strong’s Plus IDs, you should then follow the steps for Creating a New Lemma file.
Note
The Strong’s Plus ID referenced above was initially developed by Alan Bunning, where he took the 4-digit Strong’s ID and appended a zero to create a 5-digit ID. This gave him extra IDs to be able to qualify different word forms than the standard Strong’s. We will be using this Strong’s Plus identification for this project.
Markdown¶
The lemma files for en_ugl are defined in Markdown format. This format/language is a convenient means to specify the desired format of the visual output for the project. When you select a lemma file on the DCS web you will see this visual form, though the final, published, visual form may be slightly different. When editing a file, you will be working in the Markdown language environment. This document will endeavor to specify the required Markdown format and content of each lemma file to achieve the project-desired output, consistently across all lemmas for all editors. Markdown is blank line sensitive which means that data within a marker can be entered on multiple consecutive lines and will be merged together from a syntax checking and the visual output perspective. A blank line must be entered between data lines to have that data treated as separate from a syntax checking and the visual output perspective. Markdown also provides a way to add emphasis to data that is entered. Text that is enclosed within a single “*” or a single “_” will be italicized. Text that is enclosed within double “*” or double “_” will be displayed bold. These can be combined to achieve both forms of emphasis. The following example will be displayed as below.
This **bold data**
is entered *with italics* on
multiple consecutive lines
This bold data is entered with italics on multiple consecutive lines
Syntax Checker¶
A Syntax Checker has been developed to read a lemma markdown file and determine whether it meets the requirements of this document. A change log for that Syntax Checker script, in the form of a Google Doc, can be found at this link
Markers¶
The Markdown format is achieved with the use of markers (marker lines). Any line which starts with a pound sign, “#” or an asterisk, “*”, is considered a marker. Apart from the first line, there must be at least one blank line before and after each marker. These markers should not be altered or reordered so that consistency across the project can be maintained. Only 4 of these markers allow/require data to be entered as part of the actual marker line. These are:
- * Strongs: <Strongs-plus identifier>, see Strongs , below.
- * Instances in the New Testament: <instance count>, see Instances Count , below.
- * All Scriptures cited: “Yes” or “No”, see All Scriptures cited , below.
- ### Sense <sense number>:, see Sense , below.
Note
As was discussed in the Content section, there is a link labeled refs for each lemma in its Greek letter Instance Table of Contents web page which provides a list, in our project’s format, of each of the references to that lemma.
References¶
Greek Lemma Link¶
There is a required format needed to specify a reference to a different Greek lemma within the body of this file. When to add these will be discussed under the appropriate marker discussions, below. The basic link format is in the form: [<Greek form of another lemma>](../<Strongs-Plus Identifier of that lemma>/01.md). Each instance of a link is made up of different pieces of associated data. Each link is required to have its associated referenced lemma’s “Definition” or “Gloss” from that lemma’s UGL data which best fits the current context. This data piece must follow the corresponding specification of the link with a colon. Optional textual narrative and/or Sense Link data pieces should follow this definition/gloss data with a semicolon. This narrative text and Sense Link can appear in any order after that semicolon, with no separator required between the narrative and Sense Link. A comma should be used to separate each instance of a Greek Lemma Link.
The different formats for this are:
{Basic form with no narrative or Sense Link}:
[<Greek form of another lemma>](../<Strongs-Plus Identifier of that lemma>/01.md): <Definition or Gloss for that lemma>
e.g.
[πύργος](../G44440/01.md): a tower, [ἁγνός](../G00530/01.md): free from ceremonial defilement
{Basic form with textual narrative}:
[<Greek form of another lemma>](../<Strongs-Plus Identifier of that lemma>/01.md): <Definition or Gloss for that lemma>; <textual narrative>
e.g.
[πύργος](../G44440/01.md): a tower, [ἁγνός](../G00530/01.md): free from ceremonial defilement; to be clean from a Jewish ceremonial standpoint
{Basic form with a Sense Link}:
[<Greek form of another lemma>](../<Strongs-Plus Identifier of that lemma>/01.md): <Definition or Gloss for that lemma>; <Sense Link>
e.g.
[πύργος](../G44440/01.md): a tower, [ἁγνός](../G00530/01.md): free from ceremonial defilement; [Sense 1.1](#sense-11)
{Basic form with a Sense Link and textual narrative}:
[<Greek form of another lemma>](../<Strongs-Plus Identifier of that lemma>/01.md): <Definition or Gloss for that lemma>; <textual narrative>
<Sense Link>
e.g.
[πύργος](../G44440/01.md): a tower, [ἁγνός](../G00530/01.md): free from ceremonial defilement; to be clean from a Jewish ceremonial standpoint [Sense 1.1](#sense-11)
Scripture Links¶
References to passages of Scripture, Old Testament, New Testament, of Septuagint also have a fixed format. When to add these will be discussed under the appropriate marker discussions, below. The basic format for this is given below and is followed by the optional abbreviated formats if consecutive passage citations are in the same book and then more abbreviated if consecutive passage citations are in the same book and the same chapter of that book. This basic format is slightly altered for books that have only one chapter. The Standard portion does not specify chapter 1, while the USFM format requires that chapter specification:
- ::
- Basic format:
- [<Standard book name> <chapter number>:<verse number>](<USFM book name> <chapter number>:<verse number>)
- Abbreviated format if consecutive passage citations are in the same book:
- [<chapter number>:<verse number>](<USFM book name> <chapter number>:<verse number>)
- Abbreviated format if consecutive passage citations are in the same book and same chapter of that book:
- [<verse number>](<USFM book name> <chapter number>:<verse number>)
- Basic format for books with only 1 chapter:
- [<Standard book name> <verse number>](<USFM book name> 1:<verse number>)
- Abbreviated format for books with only 1 chapter if consecutive passage citations are in the same book:
- [<verse number>](<USFM book name> 1:<verse number>)
Note: For the abbreviated formats, only the Standard portion of the reference is abbreviated, the USFM portion must always be fully specified
Note: <Standard book name> and <USFM book name> entries have a defined set of values in a predefined format as documented in the USFM Names section.
Each instance of a reference should be separated with a comma when a list of verses is desired. A range of verses can be specified with a dash, “-“, supplied between the start and the end of the range. Sequential references in the same book or same chapter of the same book can be abbreviated in their Standard form, though their USFM form must be complete for each reference. These sequential, abbreviated, references cannot be separated by references to other books. e.g.
Example of a list of verse references where consecutive references have the same book and then where consecutive references have the same book and chapter:
[1Cor 3:5](1co 3:5), [4:4](1co 4:4), [5](1co 4:5)
Example of verse references for one-chapter books followed by a reference to a new verse in the same book:
[2John 8](2jn 1:8), [10](2jn 1:10),
Example of a range of verses reference:
[Mark 12:36](mrk 12:36)-[38](mrk 12:38)
Example of a range of verses reference within a list of other verse references:
[Matt 22:43](mat 22:43), [45](mat 22:45), [Mark 12:36](mrk 12:36)-[38](mrk 12:38), [Luke 20:42](luk 20:42), [44](luk 20:44)
Hebrew Lemma Links¶
There is also a fixed format for a reference to a Hebrew Lemma file. When to add these will be discussed under the appropriate marker discussions, below. The basic link format is in the form: [<Hebrew lemma]( //en-uhal/<Hebrew Strongs ID for that lemma>). This Hebrew lemma must be a single Hebrew word, not a combination of more than one word. Additional data may be added for each of the Hebrew lemma links. A single definition or gloss for the lemma will follow that link and be preceded by a colon. This is optional and not a requirement for these Hebrew lemma links, as it is for the Greek lemma links. Following this definition/gloss may be narrative text and/or a sense link. These should be preceded with a semicolon. This narrative text and Sense Link can appear in any order after that semicolon, with no separator required between the narrative and Sense Link. A comma should be used to separate each instance of a Hebrew Lemma Link.
The formats for the different options are as follows (using a 4-digit Strong’s number):
{Hebrew lemma reference with no definition and no textual narrative}:
[<Hebrew lemma]( //en-uhal/<Hebrew Strongs ID for that lemma>)
e.g.
[בַּעַל](//en-uhal/H1167), [בֹּשֶׁת](//en-uhal/H1322), [נפל](//en-uhal/H5307), [שׂום](//en-uhal/H7760)
{Hebrew lemma reference with a definition and with no textual narrative}:
[<Hebrew lemma]( //en-uhal/<Hebrew Strongs ID for that lemma>): <Hebrew Lemma gloss>
e.g.
[בַּעַל](//en-uhal/H1167), [בֹּשֶׁת](//en-uhal/H1322): shame, [נפל](//en-uhal/H5307), [שׂום](//en-uhal/H7760)
{Hebrew lemma reference with no definition but with a textual narrative}:
[<Hebrew lemma]( //en-uhal/<Hebrew Strongs ID for that lemma>); <textual narrative>
e.g.
[בַּעַל](//en-uhal/H1167), [בֹּשֶׁת](//en-uhal/H1322); this can also refer to a shameful thing, [נפל](//en-uhal/H5307), [שׂום](//en-uhal/H7760)
{Hebrew lemma reference with both a definition and a textual narrative}:
[<Hebrew lemma]( //en-uhal/<Hebrew Strongs ID for that lemma>)>) : <Hebrew Lemma gloss> ; <textual narrative>
e.g.
[בַּעַל](//en-uhal/H1167), [בֹּשֶׁת](//en-uhal/H1322): shame; this can also refer to a shameful thing, [נפל](//en-uhal/H5307), [שׂום](//en-uhal/H7760)
Note
This is a slight difference from the format defined earlier in this Phase of the program. If you have had previous lemma files merged into the main repository with the format, “en-uhl” instead of “en-uhal” these will be programmatically corrected before their Final Review.
Note
Since the tooling for this other lexicon is not operative, as yet, endeavoring to follow one of these links will results in a 404 error, Page Not Found.
If you desire to see a specific Hebrew lemma file at this time, enter the following web address in a web browser address bar:
https://git.door43.org/unfoldingWord/en_uhal/src/branch/master/content/{UHAL Strong’s ID}.md (When doing this make sure you insert the desired Hebrew lemma’s associated Strong’s ID number into the relevant portion of the web address above. The relevant portion being {UHAL Strong’s ID}).
If you wish to view an index of all the Hebrew lemmas and their associated Strong’s ID numbers enter the following web address in a web browser address bar:
https://git.door43.org/unfoldingWord/en_uhal/src/branch/master/content
Sense Link¶
A link reference to a specific Sense definition for the current Lemma can be made whereever textual narrative is allowed. This was discussed above and will be alluded to in the discussion of content for the different UGL markers, below. These have a fixed format as shown below:
[<visual expression of sense number>](<linking expression of sense number>)
Where <linking expression of sense number> combines the following characters:
“#sense-” & sense number with periods removed
e.g.
{for reference to Sense 1.0, 1.1, and 3.1.2}
[Sense 1.0](#sense-10), [Sense 1.1](#sense-11), [Sense 3.1.2](#sense-312),
UGL Markers¶
The UGL markers will be identified below. They should remain as entered and they should not be reordered. An example follows this discussion.
1. # <Greek lemma>¶
The first line of each lemma file is a marker identifying its lemma. The initial format which came from the originating Abbott Smith lexicon uses a dash before the second term. For consistency and alignment with newer lexica, change these to replace the <space>– with ,<space>. This line should be terminated with a period. e.g.
# ἄμφοδον -ου, το
should be changed to:
# ἄμφοδον, ου, το.
2. Comment Markers¶
Markdown does support specification of comments. Lines 3 and 4 of each lemma file have two comment lines. They start with “<!—“ and end with “–>”. This format specifies non-visible comments, that is comments that are in the lemma file but are not shown in the visual form. These two comment lines must remain in the file as entered:
<!-- Status: S2=NeedsEdits -->
<!-- Lexica used for edits: -->
- Editing for the first of these is only allowed for the value given to S2 (Stage 2 of project) and for the specification of the lexica that were used for editing the file, in the second comment. The valid values for S2 are:
- NeedsEdit {initial value when you start editing}
- NeedsReview {value you must enter before performing the git commit for your edits}
- NeedsFinalCheck {Reviewer enters this when 1st Review is complete}
- ReadyforPublication {Final Reviewer enters this when Final Check/2nd Review is complete}
The list of lexica should be entered as abbreviations per the list shown in the Lexica section.
3. ## Word data¶
This is a content/format marker with only other markers associated with it, so no data should be entered for it. .. Requirement 3.1 Marker required with one or more preceding and folowing blank lines, no data, and no terminator
4. * Strongs: Gddddd.¶
Identifies the Strong’s-Plus ID, with the 5-digit ddddd notation, for the lemma and was generated by the lemma file creation tool and should remain unchanged with the exception of adding a terminating period.
5. * Alternate spellings¶
This is the first marker where editing is allowed to add data to supply any variant or alternative spellings identified in the referenced lexica. This data should be entered as simple Greek text with no surrounding bracketing or parenthesis as discussed in Greek Lemma Link for referencing other Greek lemmas from this file, since that reference would point back to the current lemma file. Each instance that is specified should be separated with a comma. No additional data is required but any needed textual narrative for an instance should be separated from the Greek by a semicolon. If data is present it should data be terminated with a period.
6. * Principle Parts:¶
This marker should be left empty for this Stage of the project.
7. * Part of speech:¶
This marker’s data should contain all of the Part of speech (POS) instances that are found in the UGNT. This data will be provided to each editor as a text file for each Greek letter. Within each file is a sorted list of the Strong’s-Plus IDs with their associated POS data provided in the required link format to the correlative UGG section. The appropriate lines in that file can then be copied and then pasted into the POS marker section. This can be one or more lines which should have intermediate lines ending in a comma and the final line ending in a period.
Requirement 7.1 Marker required with one or more preceding and folowing blank lines. Requirement 7.2 Multiple instances must be separated by a comma Requirement 7.3 The final entry should be termianted in a period Requirement 7.4 Each instance must be formated as: [<UGG Chapter title>](<Web Link to UGG chapter>)
8. * Instances in the New Testament: <count>¶
This count value should be left as-is since that instance count was based upon the data from the UGNT. The text for this marker may erroneously be Instances in Scripture or Instances in the NT and should be updated to be Instances in the New Testament. This should be terminated with a period.
9. * All Scriptures cited: Yes/No¶
This marker should be followed with the word Yes or No, indicating whether every instance count reference appears in one of more of the data sections for the 21. #### Citations:, below. This line should be terminated with a period.
10. ## Etymology:¶
This marker’s data should contain any Greek Lemma Link that is explaining compound words or is explaining some names and places. Any usage in Abbott-Smith of the symbol “<” to designate words that are “derived from or related to” the lemma or any similar identification in other lexica should be moved to 13. * Related words:, below. Where present this data should be terminated with a period.
11. * LXX/Hebrew glosses:¶
This marker’s data should contain any associated data that was propagated from the A-S lexicon. That propagation may have placed this data under other markers in this file, and if so, it should be moved back to this marker’s data. There may be no LXX/Hebrew gloss data for a given lemma file. Remove or expand any abbreviations that may remain and check the format for all scripture references against Scripture Links. The LXX book references from Abbott-Smith were generally in the format <LXX book>.<chapter>.<verse>. These should be reformatted to reflect the documented reference format for the USFM Names portion of these UGL documents. An LXX/Hebrew gloss contains, at a minimum, a Scripture link and/or a Hebrew lemma link. A space should be used to separate these two if both are present for a single LXX/Hebrew gloss instance. Each instance must be separated from other instances by a comma, even if one instance has only a Hebrew lemma link, one instance has only a Scripture link, or one instance has both links. Each of these comma-separated instances may have leading textual narrative/discussion which must be preceded by a semicolon (;). No special punctutation is needed to transition from this narrative text to one or both of the links for this instance. Where present this data should be terminated with a period. Examples of the different forms of this data are:
{Scripture links only}
[Exod 22:11](exo 22:11), [10](exo 22:10), [Amos 3:3](amo 3:3), [4](amo 3:4).
{Scripture and Hebrew links with leading narrative}

12. * Time Period/Ancient Authors:¶
This marker should have no data supplied for this stage of the project.
14. * Antonyms for all senses:¶
This marker’s data should contain any other Greek lemmas that are identified by the other lexica as antonyms. These should be formatted per Greek Lemma Link, above. Project time and schedule does not give us the freedom to perform our own research on this topic so we must rely solely upon the other lexica. Any Greek lemma reference identified by other lexica that is not a UGL-defined lemma should be omitted from this lexicon. To determine if a lemma is a UGL-defined lemma you will need to open up the associated Greek letter’s Word Sort TOC file, as discussed in http://ugl-info.readthedocs.io/en/latest/assignments.html#Tomoreeasilyaccesstheseindividuallemmafiles . The lemma must appear in that TOC file to be a UGL-defined lemma and if so, you can see the Strongs-Plus ID for it. Multiple links should be separated by a comma. A period should terminate this data when present.
15. * Synonyms for all senses:¶
This marker’s data should contain any other Greek lemmas that are identified by the other lexica as synonyms. These should be formatted per Greek Lemma Link, above. Project time and schedule does not give us the freedom to perform our own research on this topic so we must rely solely upon the other lexica. Any Greek lemma reference identified by other lexica that is not a UGL-defined lemma should be omitted from this lexicon. To determine if a lemma is a UGL-defined lemma you will need to open up the associated Greek letter’s Word Sort TOC file, as discussed in To more easily access these individual lemma files . The lemma must appear in that TOC file to be a UGL-defined lemma and if so, you can see the Strongs-Plus ID for it. Multiple links should be separated by a comma. A period should terminate this data when present.
16. ## Senses:¶
The only permitted data for this marker is one or more Sense markers with their associated sub-markers. Editors should start with the structure and content embedded in the files from the Abbott-Smith lexicon. After review and analysis of the sense data from the other lexica this Abbott-Smith starting point can be expanded with additional sense and sub-sense markers, can be down-sized with the removal of sense and sub-sense markers, and/or merely modified to update the Definitions and/or Glosses with the same number of sense and sub-sense markers.
17. ### Sense <sense number>:¶
The only permitted data for this marker is the in-line Sense number with a colon as the line terminator and the four sense sub-markers with their associated data. The sense number starts at 1.0 and increments at the decimal digit, the number preceding the decimal point, for each significant sense and increments at the fractional level to differentiate sub-senses of each significant sense. The sense number, and thus the senses, can vary from a single sense with the number 1.0, to complex sub-senses which could be in the form, 3.8.5, which would be the third significant sense, it’s eighth sub-sense, and that sub-sense’s fifth sub-sub-sense. It is recommended that you limit your sense levels to only two decimal digits as, 2.4, but three levels is the maximum, if required for completeness and accuracy. These sense numbers must occur in numerical order in the file, with no missing intermediate numbers; ### Sense 2.4 followed by ### Sense 2.6 would be flagged as a syntax error, since ###Sense 2.5 is missing. Every ### Sense marker is followed only by sub-markers, with no data specified for this marker. Each of the following sub-markers must be present and in the prescribed order given below.
Note
Many lexica use a sense numbering system that includes letters and possibly Greek letters, e.g. 1bα. This lexicon will use only numbers for each of the level of senses appropriate for the lemma, with a decimal point separating the sense from the sub-sense and then the sub-sub-sense numbers.
18. #### Definition:¶
This marker’s data should contain the top-level definition for this Sense. It can be expressed as a full sentence or as a clause with multiple instances separated by a comma. Narrative text and/or Sense Link can be provided and must follow its associated definition data instance with a semicolon. No termination mark should be entered. Some examples of this clausal form are:
Aromatic substance burned as incense, An altar for burning incense
To burn incense as an offering to a deity; this does not always refer to an incense offering to Yahweh, to burn incense on an altar
19. #### Glosses:¶
This marker’s data should contain one or more one-word meanings for this sense. Multiple instances should be separated by a comma. Any narrative text and/or Sense Link should follow its associated gloss data instance with a semicolon. No termination mark should be entered.
20. #### Explanation:¶
This marker’s data should be left empty for this Stage of the project, unless there is discussion needed to explain the context of the Definition and/or Glosses. Multiple instances should be separated by a comma. No termination mark should be entered.
21. #### Citations:¶
This marker’s data should contain each Scripture reference associated with this sense of the lemma. For a sense with many references, you may choose a subset of those that you believe would be most beneficial for the users of this lexicon. Omitting some for the sake of brevity would be the reason to specify No for the 9. * All Scriptures cited: Yes/No . Each citation instance must be made up of only one Scripture Links, defined above. Optionally a citation instance can be preceded by a narrative discussion or by either or both of the actual UGNT Greek text and an English translation, the latter should be suffixed with the translation source identified as three to four capital letters enclosed in parenthesis: e.g. (ULT),(NASB),(ESV),or (NIV). If narrative discussion is entered this should be preceded with a tilde, “~” and terminsted by a colon, “:”. This narrative discussion may include a single Greek Lemma Link or a single Hebrew Lemma Links but these must follow their documented syntax. An exception to this is that this Greek lemma link does not require a gloss or definition, but if it is present, it should be preceded by a comma, and not a colon as in the standard form. If a gloss or definition for a Hebrew lemma link is provided, it should be preceded by a comma, and not a colon as in its standard form. If any narrative discussion is entered it should precede its assocaited UGNT text or English translation. A semicolon must precede the UGNT text as well as the English translation, if entered. It should be noted that if the UGNT text is entered it would be most beneficial for the downstream translators to have this Greek entered in Greek lemma link format to support hotlinks to the lemmas for each of those Greek words. For this case of entering Greek lemma links, no gloss/definition data should follow each link. Also, where the current Greek lemma occurs within that UGNT text, that Greek word should not be in Greek lemma link format since that hotlink would send the translator back to the current lemma file. It should be entered as simple Greek text. If any or all of these three preceding data pieces are entered they should be separated from their Scripture link with a colon. It should be noted that any narrative discussion is terminated by either a semicolon if there is inserted UGNT and/or English translation or by a colon if neither of these is inserted. To not overburden the translators and not have a congested file, the UGNT text and English translation should be entered for only the first citation link instance. Multiple citation instances must be separated by a comma. No termination mark should be entered for this data except for the citation data of the last Sense level in the lemma file. For this last citation data in the file, it should be terminated with a period. As discussed in 8. * Instances in the New Testament:, above, annotations to this citation data should be made to identify which references have more than 1 instance of this lemma. This identification must be enclosed within curly brackets “{}”. It may be just standard textual narrative or it may include one or more Sense links. As with other marker data, this data can span multiple, consecutive, lines in the file with no blank lines between them. Examples of the format for this annotation are:
{Under Sense 1.0 of lemma καινός, G25370}
[Luke 5:36](luk 5:36){3 instances, all for this Sense}
{Under Sense 2.0 of lemma καινός, G25370}
[Rev 3:12](rev 3:12){2 instances, both for this Sense}
{Under Sense 4.0 of lemma καλέω, G25640 where the passage is not cited in any other Sense Citation data}
[Rom 8:30](rom 8:30){2 instances, one(1) for this Sense, one(1) not cited}
{Under Sense 1.0 of lemma κἄν, G25790}
[Luke 12:38](luk 12:38){2 instances, one(1) for this Sense and one(1) for [Sense 2.0](#sense-20)}
{Under Sense 2.0 of lemma κἄν, G25790}
[Luke 12:38](luk 12:38){2 instances, one(1) for this Sense and one(1) for [Sense 1.0](#sense-10)}
Example with preceding narrative discussion only, without a Greek or Hebrew lemma link:
~Gabbatha, the Greek transliteration of an uncertain Aramaic word: [John 19:13](jhn 19:13)
Example with preceding narrative discussion only, which includes a Greek lemma link without a gloss:
~Gabbatha, the Greek transliteration of an uncertain Aramaic word used as the equivalent of [λιθόστρωτον](../G30380/01.md): [John 19:13](jhn 19:13)

Working with Door43 Git Service¶
Forking the repository¶
Before you begin working on creating or modifying files in one of the the Unlocked Lexicon repositories, you will need to fork the project’s repository.
- Sign in to your Door43 account at https://git.door43.org/.
- Click Fork near the upper right-hand corner of the site.
- In the New Fork Repository window, keep the default Repository Name and Description and click on the Fork Repository button.
Note
Once you have forked the repository, you will need to work from the files on your fork only. Once you have committed changes to a file on your fork and it is free of syntax errors, you are ready to merge those changes to the Master repo. To do this you will need to create a Pull Request.
Creating a Pull Request¶
When you have completed work on a file and are ready for it to be reviewed and merged to the master repository, you will need to create a Pull Request that will be reviewed by another team member before being merged to the master repo.
- On the master repository site, click on Pull Requests near the top of the page, then click on the New Pull Request button. The site will compare your fork with the master repository and show differences at the bottom of the page.
- Add a title and a description that explain the changes you want to merge to the master repository.
- Click Create Pull Request.
Merging a Pull Request¶
Pull requests will show up near the top of the main repository page.
- Click on Pull Requests to see what needs to be reviewed and then merged with the master repository.
Note
Only review and merge content from another contributor, not your own content.
- View the file to review the content.
- If the content is accurate, merge the Pull Request with the master repository.
Closing Issues¶
After all of your Pull Requests for an Issue (Greek letter) have been reviewed and merged into the master repository, you can mark your Issue closed and remove the In Progress label from the issue.
Creating a New Lemma file¶
A new lemma file can be created from an existing lemma file by following the steps below:
- Move to the existing lemma file in Door43.
- Mentally remember the new Strong’s Plus ID.
- Click the Raw option icon.
- Select every line and then use the Copy feature (pull-down menu or Ctrl-C).
- Click the Browser Back icon.
- Click the Files tab and then the Contents tab (this will take a while).
- Click the blue New File button.
- Paste the contents of the previous file into the area below “<> New File”.
- In the blank field to the right of “en-ugl / content / ” enter the new Strong’s Plus ID, followed by “/01.md”, e.g. “G45555/01.md” and click Commit Changes.
- It will take approximately one day for this new lemma file to appear in the letter’s toc file, and for the old undefined ID to be removed from the letter’s undefined toc.
