Glossary

Canon — A group of books. Currently this is either the New Testament or the Old Testament. In the future we hope to add the Septuagint too.

Gloss — A simple, one-word definition of a word. A gloss doesn't communicate all of the possible translations of a word, so one word can have more than one possible gloss.

Parsing — A parsing of a word is all of the grammatical information about that word. Nouns may have number, case, or gender. Verbs may have tense. These are different for different languages. Examples: * βίβλος — nominative feminine singular * ἐγέννησεν — aorist active indicative, 3rd singular * בָּרָא — qal perfect, 3rd masculine singular

Parsings can be shown in different ways. The parsings above might be abbreviated as “NFS,” “AAI3S,” or “G10” for instance.
