我们发现即将印刷的新约(NT)词汇表中存在一个问题。
该语言包含双字母组合 vh。字母 ‘v’ 和 ‘h’ 在其他情况下很少见,但确实会出现。由于词汇表会自动按字母顺序排列条目,实际上它以不理想的方式重新排列了条目。
所有以 avha- 开头的条目都排在包含 aVha- 的条目之前。(某些专有名词要求这种大写形式)。因此,像 Avhafinjile 这样的单词排在像 AVhafalisaayi 这样的单词之前,但我们实际上期望的是相反的顺序(-fa- 在 -fi 之前)。据推测,Paratext 将 AVhafalisaayi 排序为 a+v+h,而不是 a+vh。理想情况下,Paratext 可以将 ‘Vh’ 识别为 ‘vh’ 的大写形式。不幸的是,Paratext 确实将 ‘vh’ 识别为双字母组合,但仅在其未大写时如此。
这仅仅是词汇表排序行为、语言设置的局限性,还是非常规大写形式导致的结果?
语言设置指南建议不要包含多字母组合的大写形式。这总是正确的吗,还是实际上有可能/希望具备包含双字母组合(Vh)大写形式的能力?
我想听听:
- 我们能否做些什么让 Paratext 按期望的方式对这些条目进行排序?
- 我是否应该在此处提出某个功能/更改请求?
- 还有其他建议吗?
谢谢,

We found a problem in the Glossary of a NT which was about to be printed.
This language contains the digraph vh. The letters ‘v’ and ‘h’ are rare otherwise, but do also occur. Since the glossary automatically sorts entries alphabetically, it actually rearranged the entries in an undesirable way.
All entries which begin with avha- are ordered before entries containing aVha-. (This capitalization is required for certain proper nouns). So a word like Avhafinjile is ordered before a word like AVhafalisaayi, but we actually expect the opposite (-fa- before -fi). Presumably Paratext is ordering AVhafalisaayi as a+v+h rather than a+vh. Ideally, Paratext could recognize ‘Vh’ as a capitalized form of ‘vh’. It is just unfortunate that Paratext does recognize ‘vh’ as a digraph, but only when it is not capitalized.
Is this simply a limitation of the Glossary’s sorting behavior, the language settings, or just a result of the unconventional capitalization?
The language settings Guide suggests that one should not include a capitalized form of multigraphs. Is that always true, or would it actually be possible/desirable to have the ability to include a capitalized form of the digraph (Vh)?
I’m interested to hear:
- Is there something we can do to get Paratext to sort these as desired?
- Is there some feature/change request I should make here?
- Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
