Interpreting the data

Feature lex_dom is to some extent equivalent to a numerical representation of feature [ln](/Nestle1904LFT/features/ln.html#start) and can be decoded using the following method. Take for example lex_domain = “089007”. The 6-digit value “089007” first need to be split into two 3-digit parts: “087” and “007”. The second part should be interpreted as a alphabetic (A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, …, Z=26). Taken the two parts together, this will result in 89G, which points to an entry in Louw-Nida. For this example (i.e. 89G) this maps to main section relations and subsection Cause and/or Reason.

It is important to realize that the granularity of feature lex_dom is less than that of feature ln. Consider for example the ἀρχή in John 1:1. According to Louw-Nida Lexicon this can map to either a:beginning (aspect)=>68.1 or b:beginning (time)=>67.65. In Text-Fabric one value is attached to feature lex_dom, which is 067003. Using the above explained method, this breaks down to “067” and “003” where the last part refers to section “C”, which is actualy a range (67.65-67.72) within Louw Nida.
