Example
Whenever your cursor is placed over a word in a Bible text with Strong's numbers (such as the KJVS, NAS95S, or NIV-G/K), that word's Key number, along with the Greek or Hebrew word which it represents are displayed in the Instant Details.
If you place the cursor over a word in a grammatically tagged Greek or Hebrew text (such as the GNT-T, BHS-W4 or HMT, and LXX1), that word's lexical root A root is a unit of a language that cannot be further divided, from which words are derived by modification. The root does not necessarily survive as a word in itself. The Accordance roots may combine homographs and therefore a single root may include roots with different etymologies and meanings. In Hebrew, by convention, the lexical form (lemma) of a verb is the same as the root. (the form of the word usually found in a dictionary), its parsing information (e.g.: whether it is a noun, verb, adjective, etc.), and a brief English definition are displayed.
