And Kenizzites (singular Kenizzite) are the descendants of Kenaz.
I wasn’t able to find a list that lines up the noun (Assyria) and adjective (Assyrian) forms of biblical people and places, so I made one. Download the complete list in tab-delimited format.
There are about 270 lines covering about 340 distinct word forms. The list covers all the adjective (singular) and demonym (gentilic or plural) forms that appear in the ESV Bible.
The fourth column in the file indicates whether the noun is a person, place, or something else. The category wasn’t always clear-cut, given that many place names started as people names. There wasn’t always a noun equivalent (Pharisee, for example, lacks one).
This file should assist computer programs, allowing them to map variants back onto their noun bases without having to jump through linguistic hoops.
Hi,
I’m the developer for dynamicbible.com and i’ve been planning to integrate geocoded places into the app for a while. I ran across your kml, and though its really useful the way it is now, i was wondering if you had considered adding strongs number to the entries.
The reason i suggest it is, having that number would provide an easy way to distingish between identically named places and would also provide a very fast way to index and cross reference those coords with other xml bible documents. I’m having to run a script that matches the entries by word, but differences in spelling, spacing, and special symbols makes that kind of match a little inaccurate, or at least incomplete.
[…] asks whether it’s possible to index the English geocoded place names to their original Greek and […]
