The Hebrew Grammatical Constructions Documentation says that I should be able to search for weak verbs using {Section <GrammaticalConstructions weakverb>} in the Bible Search. This returns 0 results. Can anyone shed light on why this might be?
Tim Bahula: The Hebrew Grammatical Constructions Documentation says that I should be able to search for weak verbs using {Section <GrammaticalConstructions weakverb>} in the Bible Search. This returns 0 results. Can anyone shed light on why this might be?
By chance I found a passage for this in ESV and the Context menu provided {Section <GrammaticalConstructions = Weak Verb>}; which suggests the documentation is incorrect for that and others like germinate.

The documentation is being updated with the new search strings. Somewhere between creating the initial documentation and implementing the data into the software the search strings were updated, and I didn't realize it.
In the time between now and the update to the documentation the new search strings can be found here:
Verbless Clause: gramcon.vblsclTripartite Nominal Clause: gramcon.trinomclRoot Pairs: gramcon.rootpairsWeak Verb: gramcon.weakverbGeminate Verb: gramcon.geminateI Alef Verb: gramcon.ialefI Guttural Verb: gramcon.igutturalI Nun Verb: gramcon.inunI Yod Verb: gramcon.iyodII Guttural Verb: gramcon.iigutturalHollow Verb (Waw): gramcon.hollowwawHollow Verb (Yod): gramcon.hollowyodIII Guttural Verb: gramcon.iiigutturalIII Alef Verb: gramcon.iiialefIII He Verb: gramcon.iiihe
The right side of the colon is the search term in the original documentation. The left side of the colon is the new search string which will be in the updated documentation, and which is currently implemented in the software.
Sorry for the lag in documentation.
As an ordinary non-technical user of the software, I will be at a loss for quite some time before being able to understand the terms being used in this thread let alone this new feature. Still, that's part of the joy of discovery and learning! Keep well Paul
Thanks, Dave. This works as expected.
Thanks for your reply, Jimmy.
Unfortunately, I was unable to get a search syntax that worked for gramcon dot weakverb. I tried:
{Section <gramcon.weakverb>}
{Section <GrammaticalConstructions = gramcon.weakverb>}
{Section <GrammaticalConstructions gramcon.weakverb>}
gramcon.weakverb
None of them worked.
While new features sound exciting, they quickly lose their lustre if they don't perform as expected. Perhaps you should hire Dave to work on documentation.

What Dave said and what Jimmy said match. From what jimmy said- it's the left side of the colon that works. The right side will not. Your examples of things not working are from the right side of the colon.

Right side (after ": gramcon.") matches "Hebrew Grammatical Constructions Documentation" that does not work.
Left Side preceding colon matches Right Click in resource; looking forward to documentation update.
Edit: Documentation Table of Contents has "s" added to clause and verb compared to GrammaticalConstructions search term. Noticed "Root Pairs" matches search term.

You are quite right. I misread the description.
