I have a further question: how can you find the (true) number of unique words that occur less than X times in the whole or part of the bible (e.g. I am involved in bible translation and stats like that would help me gauge the difficulty and time required to translate a particular book of the bible, and also estimate the time required for the whole bible based on samples with various stats. It will be nice to be able to also have the number excluding proper nouns (as proper nouns usually present no difficulty even though they might be rare words).

But individual book stats are not available.įor a particular book, the context menu shows the numbers of verses and unique words, but not the total number of words. Does anyone know of an easy way to get the total number of words in a particular book, say, Isaiah in WTT?Īt present, the title page of each version shows the numbers of chapters and verses, total number of words and number of unique words for the whole bible (or the NT if OT is not available for that version).
