Bible Works for Windows does indeed have SUHNTE in Isa 7:9 marked as an
imperfect subjunctive and SUNTELESH in Isa 10:12 marked as a future
subjunctive. We cannot, however, place the blame with the software
publisher: the LXX morphological database came from the University of
Pennsylvania CATSS. Note the following copyright notice:
>LXX Greek Morphology and Lemma Database (LXM), 1991 Edition, Copyright ©
1990-1991 by the University of Pennsylvania, CATSS. The morphologically
analyzed text of CATSS Greek Jewish Scriptures was prepared by the CATSS
(Computer Assisted Tools for Septuagint Studies) Project, under the
direction of Robert Kraft (Philadelphia team). The morphological analysis
was done by David Packard in 1977. The LXM coding and lemmatization scheme
(such as compound verbs) is not consistent with the Friberg AGNT2
morph-parsing coding and lemmatization. However, some of this inconsistency
has been overcome by certain BibleWorks features, such as re-use GNM search
expression in an LXM search.
