Enoch Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) I searched for the lemma of a Hebrew word (found near the start of Psalm 90 & other places in the OT) which surely is not a hapax legomenon. I figure I may not be doing something correct, so I didn't put this in bug right away; but I never had this problem before. But when I search off of highlighting it & right click menu search for lemma, only 1 result shows up for this word, מָעוֹן Edited February 27, 2015 by Enoch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Hi Enoch, the good news is, it’s neither! It’s because Groves has tagged this as a hapax of this particular lemma. There are 4 lemmas that are homographs of מָעוֹן according to HALOT. If you notice. in the search bar after you do the search a -1 is appended to מָעוֹן (green arrow).if you then click in the search bar, the other possible lemmas will appear like this (red box): If you wish to search for all the lemmas at once, you can wildcard them like this Note the ? in place of the 1 in the search bar (lilac box), and then see the list of lemmas found in the analysis pane (aqua box) Hope that helps Addendum: If you want to restrict your search to just the 2 lemmas that correspond to “dwelling” (i.e. lemma 1 and lemma 2), then you can wildcard for that as well. You can go lemma-?(12) - all in reverse of course (orange box)- and voila, the other lemmas will disappear and your results will be just for the 2 lemmas that HALOT thinks have to do with dwelling (brown box).

Enoch Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Thanks Ken. So someone thinks there are 4 homographs & 4 lemons. I take it that means they think that the 4 come from distinct Hebrew roots though the spelling is the same with the expressed example. Evidently that was not the opinion of the old BDB, Keil/Delitzsch boys, but no doubt advances have been made in scholarship since then. I need to check out the latest evidence. Meanwhile shall I sing, "Give me a מָעוֹן where the buffalo roam . . ." ? Edited March 3, 2015 by Enoch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
