Quality

High. Tyndale House is a respected academic institution. Data undergoes scholarly review. TAHOT and TAGNT are amalgamated from multiple academic sources with cross-verification.

Gaps Filled

• ✅ Morphological tags (Hebrew via TAHOT, Greek via TAGNT) — Critical gap
• ✅ Source tokens (embedded in TAHOT/TAGNT word-level data) — Critical gap
• ✅ Person names database (TIPNR — ~3,000 individuals + ~1,000 places)
• ✅ Place names / geocoding (TIPNR includes coordinates)
• ✅ Versification mapping (TVTMS — multi-tradition)
• ✅ Extended lexicons (TBESH, TBESG, TFLSJ)
• 🔜 Septuagint tagged (TAGOT — coming)
• 🔜 Full BDB Hebrew lexicon (TFBDB — coming)

Integration Notes

• TSV parsing is trivial in Python — add a StepBibleParser class to the ingest pipeline
• TAHOT/TAGNT data maps directly to enriching existing :InterlinearWord nodes with morphology, pos, and parsing properties
• TIPNR would create new :Person and :Place node types in FalkorDB with relationship edges to :Passage nodes
• TVTMS would create :VersificationMapping edges between :Passage nodes across translations
• Strong's numbers in STEPBible data align with GospeLib's existing Strong's-keyed lexicon entries
• Requires new ingest pipeline stages or extension of existing stages (stages for morphology enrichment, people/places, versification)
