Hatch and Redpath is a concordance, not a lexicon. The best LXX lexicon
(incomplete as yet) is T. Muraoka, A Greek-English Lexicon of the
Septuagint. This lexicon works with word definitions rather than
specific glosses (for a review see John Lee in BIOSCS 37 [2004]
127-139). There is also Lust-Eynikel-Hauspie, A Greek-English Lexicon 2
vols. This lexicon works with specific glosses rather than word
definitions (for a review see Dirk Büchner in BIOSCS 37 [2004]
139-147).
