Derek Lewis Knox Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 So, I am in the process of making vocabulary lists so I can learn rare words "in context." I don't want any proper nouns in the list, because I don't need to learn them.I used this search:[count 2]@[any -proper] It returned a list that I thought was correct: all words appearing in the text that are not proper nouns. But after I was done, I realized that δειγματίζω was not on the list! It appears exactly twice in NA28, at Matt. 1:19 and Col. 2:15.Did I do something wrong? Are there other words missing? Would my search for hapax legomena -- [count 1]@[any -proper] --also have problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The Analysis shows that you found: ADJECTIVE = 232 ADVERB = 59 NOUN = 572 so you are missing all the other parts of speech including Verbs. I see that [ANY -proper] only finds the parts of speech to which Proper applies. The right way to approach this is simply to move the negative thus: [COUNT 2] @ -[ANY proper] which gives you ADJECTIVE = 232 ADVERB = 59 CONJUNCTION = 8 IMPROPERPREPOSITION = 6 INTERJECTION = 2 NOUN = 572 PARTICLE = 12 PREPOSITION = 2 PRONOUN = 2 VERB = 584 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
