[sword-devel] Hebrew Segmentation

[David Haslam]

Hi Tom,

I'm sure that most of us are aware that the MAQAF (U+05BE) has a different function to morpheme segmentation.
The Unicode character name is HEBREW PUNCTUATION MAQAF.

The openscriptures morphhb team have marked these up accordingly:

42577 <seg type="x-maqqef">

The differences in spelling are quite common among Hebraists, and depends either on which text book they followed or which is their own native language.

Best regards,

David
