The Comprehensive Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic Glossary for Nook: Navigation

This digital edition of The Comprehensive Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic Glossary recognizes that you do not generally read dictionaries linearly. As a result, there are several options provided for powerful and rapid navigation. Note that navigation details might be different in the various Nook applications for platforms other than the Nook itself.

First, when you click on Go to -> Chapter, you have the option of selecting Table of Contents. This Table of Contents provides hyperlinks to each letter of the dictionary. Clicking on a link to a letter provides a list of options for the first two letters of the word. Once you click on the desired two-letter combination, you can flip the page to get to the desired entry if need be.

Second, when you click Go to -> Chapter, you can scroll through the list to your desired letter of the Hebrew alphabet, presented in transliteration. Clicking on a link to a letter provides a list of options for the first two letters of the word. Once you click on the desired two-letter combination, you can flip the page to get to the desired entry if need be.

Third, you can use Go to -> Page to navigate to a particular location. As you move the slider, the letter of the alphabet, presented in transliteration.

Fourth, you can navigate directly to a particular entry by searching for that entry using transliterated Hebrew, using just the consonants, with “h ” (i.e. the letter h followed by a space) for Hebrew and “a ” (i.e. the letter a followed by a space) for Aramaic. The transliteration scheme may be found in the table below. For example, to navigate to the entry for ben, simply type “h bn” in the Find box. This will take you to the page on which this entry appears. Note, however, that as of this writing, the Nook only searches forward from your present location in the book. Thus, you may need to navigate first to a location before your desired location (e.g. by clicking Go to and selecting something before your desired location).
