1. Semantic Profile¶
The semantic_profile module produces a complete one-stop analysis for any Hebrew or Greek root,
combining lexicon data, corpus frequency, morphological breakdown, LXX equivalents,
OT→LXX→NT trajectory, collocations, and example verses.
Examples below: שָׁלוֹם (H7965 peace) and λόγος (G3056 word)

2. Synonym Comparison¶
Compare two or more near-synonym roots side by side: frequency, LXX equivalents (shared renderings marked †), OT→LXX→NT trajectory, book distribution, and morphological forms.
Examples: Love words (אָהֵב vs חָשַׁק) and Peace/Wholeness (שָׁלוֹם vs שָׁלֵם)

3. LXX Translation Consistency¶
Measures how uniformly each LXX book/translator renders a given Hebrew root. High consistency (>90%) = one dominant Greek equivalent. Low consistency or divergent books may indicate semantic range, different translation philosophy, or recensional differences.
Example: רוּחַ (H7307) splits between πνεῦμα (spirit) and ἄνεμος (wind)

8. Morphological Distribution Charts¶
Visualise how a root's grammatical forms distribute across books.
- Hebrew verbs: stem × conjugation (Qal Perfect, Piel Imperfect, …)
- Greek verbs: tense × voice (Aorist Active, Present Passive, …)
- Greek nouns: case distribution (Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative)
