Feature group	Feature type	Data type	Available for node types	Used by viewtype
Orthograpic	Node	String	word subphrase phrase	syntax-view wg-view

Feature description

The translit feature provides a transliteration of Greek word surface text into Latin characters. This feature is useful for users who prefer or require Latin script for writing queries or studying the text.

This feature is also populated for phrase or subphrase, but only if they consist of just one word node.

Feature values

The following tables show the top five entries with the highest frequency for different node types.

For word nodes (used in syntax-view and wg-view):

Value	Occurences
kai	8576
en	3152
o	3149
to	2885
de	2769

For subphrase nodes (used in wg-view):

Value	Occurences
kai	8576
en	3152
o	3149
to	2885
de	2769

For phrase nodes (used in wg-view):

Value	Occurences
me	976
estin	865
auton	815
auto	768
ouk	660

Notes

This feature allows for easy writing of queries without the use of Greek characters. The following snippet provides an example:

    logosQuery='''
    verse 
       word translit=logos
    '''
    logosResults=PLAY.search(logosQuery) # this will provide a list of tuples
    T.text(logosResults[0][0]) # print the Greek text related to the first node in the first tuple (which is a verse node)

The query returns 63 results. The first one of this list is printed by the last statement:

'ἔστω δὲ ὁ λόγος ὑμῶν ναὶ ναί,οὒ οὔ·τὸ δὲ περισσὸν τούτων ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ ἐστιν.'

The following set of features describe the full surface text:

• after: All material found after a word (including critical signs).
• before: All material found before a word.
• criticalsign: Text-critical signs.
• normalized: Normalized Greek text.
• punctuation: Punctuations found after a word.
• text: Word without punctuations and text-critical signs.
• trailer: All material found after a word (excluding text-critical signs).
• translit (this feature): Transliteration of the word surface texts.
• unaccent: Word without accents and diacritical markers.
• unicode: Unicode presentation including all material before and after word.

The following image shows the relation between these features.

The following text-formating options are defined in this dataset using this feature:

  A.showFormats()
     format              level    template
     lex-orig-plain      word     {lemma}{trailer}
     lex-translit-plain  word     {lextranslit}{trailer}
     text-orig-full      word     {before}{text}{after}
     text-orig-plain     word     {text}{trailer}
     text-translit-plain word     {translit}{trailer}
     text-unaccent-plain word     {unaccent}{trailer}

Source description

The translit feature is calculated from the XML attribute unicode of the w (word) tag.
