Didn't say Adonai is always translated 'LORD'
I said GOD's Name YAHWEH (Strong's 3068,3069) is translated 'LORD'
Adonai (Strong's 136) on the other hand is generally translated 'Lord'
in the majority of the case;
Yes I am talking about the KJV English translation.
'adown (Strong's 113) is used in ref. to GOD & men.
'adoni' solely used in ref. to men & angels.
I have never used Biblesoft; if it uses Strong's numbering system, Strong's does not show the distinction between 'adoni' & 'adown
Yep! I am talking about the Masoretic Scriptures.
Since all 4 words: YAHWEH, Adonai, adon & adoni
have different pronunciations, different vowel points;
and esp. adoni denotes human beings and angels and NOT GOD.
Even the LXX shows this distinction
I used Bibleworks to search for the Hebrew word 'adoni'
As for sources, I guess you could begin with:
