Jonathan:

A short list of lexica and word studies. Armstrong is like Kubo for the
Greek. BDB would be closest to BAGD although not as upt ot date.Koehler and
Baumgardentr is like BAGD. Clines is like Liddell and Scott, Gensenius is
likeThayer, holliday is an abridgment of Koehler and Baumgardner, botterweck
is a lot like TDNT, DOTTE is somewhat comparable to colin Brown's Dictionary
of New Testament theology, Jenni's  comparable to Spicq.

Hope this helps

Kevin
