Identifying Hebrew Word Forms?

[blgriffin83]

Is there anyway to search by or perhaps just check the forms of certain words in the Hebrew? By word form I mean מֶלֶךְ being a Ketel, בֹּקֶר  being a Kotel, מִגְדָּל being a Miktal.

Hi @blgriffin83

I am not 100% sure if I am understanding your question correctly. So I am sorry if this isn't helpful. Assuming I do understand your question though, search the lex of your word and click "Analysis." From there if the "Inflect" is showing, it will show all of the specific forms. Then you can select the specific forms and only they will show in the text. (BTW, be sure to make sure recycle is OFF before you click on any of the inflected forms, or it will type over the whole lex search).

 

I am sorry again if this isn't your question.

If you are looking for all words that follow a certain pattern like that, I think it will be difficult to do as Accordance's wildcard searches with nekkud is not great. If you are looking for specific words you can use an inflected search and find all occurrences very easily.

As far as I know we do not have the Mishkal word conjugations tagged in those ways. Unfortunately, as Mike says, the wildcard system is somewhat flakey, but I find it quite reliable as long as you aren't trying something too arcane/complex.
