# unfoldingWord Hebrew Grammar

These are the source files for the [unfoldingWord Hebrew Grammar](https://uhg.readthedocs.io/).

The unfoldingWord Hebrew Grammar (UHG) is a Biblical Hebrew reference grammar based on the [morphology codes](http://openscriptures.github.io/morphhb/parsing/HebrewMorphologyCodes.html) that appear in the [Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible](https://github.com/openscriptures/morphhb). It enables the global Church to gain the best possible understanding of the Hebrew grammar of the Old Testament.

## Roadmap

### Stage One

Start fresh and provide descriptions of grammatical concepts that show up in [Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible](https://github.com/openscriptures/morphhb) morphological data.

* 1-2 Glossary entry
* ~1 page article entry that provides more information and 2-3 examples like teaching grammars

This phase is nearly complete.

### Stage Two

* Tag the UHB with specific grammatical information (*interrogative* pronoun)
* Tag text with syntax information
* Evaluate (and adjust, if necessary) structural aspects of the morphological data scheme (see list below)
* Sort all verbs parsed as imperfect in UHB for cohortative and jussive forms
* Write additional entries as required by above steps

#### Items to evaluate:

* Add the following to parsing morphology?  causal particle; conditional particle; discourse particle; compound conjunction; particle of existence; particle of non-existence
* Separate "preposition with definite article" (Rd) into two distinct morphological items, "preposition" (R) + "definite article" (Td)?
* Re-evaluate: should the category "determined state" be included in the grammar, or should this be called "definite" instead? There is potential for confusion with Aramaic here.  In Hebrew, the "determined state" and "definite" are one and the same thing, but in Aramaic they are not.  Perhaps we should use the term "definite" in UHG in order to avoid confusion with the "determined state" in the UAG. 
* Parsing for questionable terms: H71 – proper name, feminine; H145 – common noun, masculine; H521 – common noun, feminine; H643 – common noun, masculine; H1847 - common noun, feminine (except masc. in Prov 2:10, 14:6, and Job 33:3); H2156 - common noun, feminine; H4530 – common noun, feminine; H4593 – common noun, feminine? (check textual problem); H5135 – Aramaic word, not Hebrew; H7452 – common noun, masculine; H2859 – common noun, masculine (feminine in Deut 27:23); H5116a – common noun, masculine (feminine in Job 8:6); H5183a – common noun, feminine (masculine in Job 36:16); H5183b – common noun, masculine; H6211a – proper name, feminine (Job 9:9); H6211b – common noun, masculine; H492 – adjective; H794 – common noun, feminine; H2233 – common noun, masculine; H2346 – common noun, feminine; H2898 – common noun, masculine; H3816 – common noun, masculine; H5895 – common noun, masculine; H6423 – pronoun, masculine singular; H7548 – common noun, feminine; H8574 – common noun, masculine; H5178 – common noun, masculine; H6635b - common noun, feminine; H8577 – common noun, masculine; H217a – common noun, masculine; H5971a – common noun, masculine; H5868a,b – common noun, masculine; H6643a,b – common noun, masculine; H17 – interjection; H24 – common noun, masculine; H681 – preposition; H786 – particle of existence; H837 – common noun, masculine; H1215 – common noun, masculine; H1383 – common noun, feminine; H1890 – common noun, masculine; H2440 – adverb; H2626 – adjective; H2958 – adverb; H3038 – ???; H4033 – common noun, masculine; H4227 – common noun, feminine; H4512 – common noun, masculine; H4596 – common noun, masculine; H6673 – common noun, masculine; H7315 – adverb; H7934 – adjective; H7946 – adjective; H8613 – proper name; H2791 – common noun, masculine; H6957a – common noun, masculine.
* Textual issues in UHB to re-evaluate.  Song 6:12 –– proper name or not?  When is אוֹיֵב a noun, when a participle?  

### Stage Three

Either augment or create a new project based on the UHG to be used as a teaching grammar.
