This feature specifies the semantic domain according to the Semantic Dictionary of Biblical Greek (SDBG). This feature helps to categorize words based on their meanings and semantic fields.
This feature is also populated for phrase

node.

This feature is to some extent equivalent to a numerical representation of feature ‘ln’ and can be decoded using the following method. Take for example feature ‘domain’ has a value of ‘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 ‘domain’ is less than that of feature ‘ln’. Consider for example the Greek word 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 ‘domain’, 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’s classification.
