Robb B Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 There is probably a really simple solution to this that I am overlooking, but I can't seem to figure out how to search for a root with a certain prefix. For example, how would I search for every word in the NT from the root erchomai when the prefix epi is attached to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Matousek Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 This might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 You can simoply search for both roots connected by the @ sign: +επι@+ερχομαι Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb B Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 Thanks, Helen! I knew it had to be something simple like that. I'm looking forward to the version 7 manual where these new kinds of searches are explored in greater detail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You can simoply search for both roots connected by the @ sign:+επι@+ερχομαι How would this work in Hebrew? I'm trying, for example, to find weyiqtol forms, and although [verb imperfect] <WITHIN 1 Words><PRECEDED BY> "ו" does return the correct verses, it also returns imperfect verbs preceded by a word with a suffixed waw -- not just imperfects prefixed with waw. I've tried various combinations with the plus sign but can't seem to get it working. Many thanks, Elizabeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hebrew is different from Greek because the prefix and suffix are treated as separate words so you cannot use the @ to join them to the main word. Try specifying the grammatical tag of the waw as a conjunction: [VERB imperfect] ו@ [PARTICLE conjunction] or not a suffix: [VERB imperfect] ו@-[sUFFIX] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thank you, Helen! That did the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
