No, nothing I'm aware of for English. Because it is out of copyright,
BDB is cheap, hence popular. Many of our students use one of the Bible
software packages which typically use BDB, and we recommend a software
solution for pedagogical purposes. But for hardcopy, Holladay is still
the most practical choice for the student.
