grammatical search (articular infinitive)

David McClister

Pardon me if this is covered somewhere, but a search of this forum did not turn up a result.

Using Logos 6 (and I have the necessary Greek texts, etc.), how would you find all articular infinitives in the Greek New Testament which use a genitive article? I can't figure out how to write the query.

If this has been covered already, please provide a link to the discussion.

Thanks in advance.

@DG = genitive article

@V??N = infinitive

the search in a Greek bible would be

@DG BEFORE 1 WORD @V??N

Edit: see Search wiki for more info

Thank you, Dave!

Could you explain why "@DG @V??N" (i.e., the same two terms in quotes, as an exact phrase search) does not work? I'm still learning the "rules" about these searches.

"Phrase" is a grammatical phrase, as per the wiki. There is no concept of, or meaning to, a 'morphological' search phrase.

Note that @DG @V??N (no quotes) has meaning  ==> @DG AND @V??N, whilst @DG BEFORE 1 WORD @V??N means the morphologies are separated by one manuscript word. A word may have more than one morphology so separation is meaningless, but @BE @TE will find many words that have both morphologies e.g. kai.
