Van,

Thanks for this information, both on the passage and on Bibleworks 7. I
might point out one other oddity that I hadn't noticed before.
Jouon-Muraoka in that same section (61i, p. 1:173) lists the occurrence
in Isa 55:5 as 2ms, but lists the exact same word in the same position
in Isa 60:9 as 2fs.

The Westminster 4.0 DB in both BW7 and the latest Logos read the
suffix as masculine, which certainly is most consistent with the
other suffixes and verbal forms in the verse.

On the comparison between BW7 and Logos, you might be interested in
my review of BW6 and Logos at
http://www.cyber-chapel.org/reviews/LibBwkDec2004.pdf . (The earlier
review referenced there is available at
http://www.cyber-chapel.org/reviews/Baseline.pdf .) Logos is the
clear leader in digital library functionality (replacing a shelf of
books about the Bible with a computer), but for linguistic work in
the biblical text itself, BibleWorks is far preferable. BW7 only
improves over the excellent analytical capabilities of BW6. In
addition, in terms of the ability to map lexical forms between LXX
and MT, its new implementation of the Tov interlinear LXX/MT is by
far the best currently on the market (next is Accordance, and third
is the recently released version for Logos).
