LXX-only Greek word headwords & short glosses (words attested in the Septuagint but never the New Testament, so they have no Strong's number — labeled “LSJ” wherever they appear): the Liddell-Scott-Jones lexicon via Perseus (Tufts) / Helma Dik, Logeion (CC BY-SA 4.0). Those words were tagged with odyCy (Centre for Humanities Computing Aarhus, MIT license) — a courtesy credit for the tool; only its lemma output (a fact about the public-domain Swete text) is shipped, never the model or its training data.
