Nestle 1904 GNT - Feature: variant

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

Feature description

The variant feature matches the variant of the lemma indicating a different sense, as shown in the Bible Online Learner. This feature helps identify the specific entry when two entries for a lemma are available (like in case of homonyms or polysemes).

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

Feature values

Value Description Frequency
1 First entry/sense 36
2 Second entry/sense 302

Notes

The indication of the variant was present in our source data as a parenthesis and in a Roman numeral indicating the number of the variant (I or II). For instance, the lemma δοῦλος was portrayed in the XML source data as δοῦλος (II). A summary of the variants in the lemmas of the words in the Greek New Testament is shown in the following table:

Lemma Variant Occurrence
βάτος 1 5
βάτος 2 1
δοῦλος 2 126
λοιμός 2 2
μήν 1 1
μήν 2 18
σύνειμι 1 2
σύνειμι 2 18
χῶρος 2 1
ἄπειμι 1 7
ἄπειμι 2 1
ἦχος 1 3
ἦχος 2 1

When using the Bible Online Learner as an aid in exploring text and creating Text-Fabric queries, it is advisable to use the bol_lemma feature instead of this one to circumvent potential issues arising from a slightly different handling of Unicode codepoints. More information regarding Unicode can be found here.
