Making a list of verbs

Alan Charles Gielczyk

I am in a Hebrew exegesis class on Song of Songs. I want to make a list of every verb in the book along with its parsing and translation. Is this possible in Logos and if so how would I make said list?

You can do a Morph Search for @V in BHS, and click on Analysis view to see the results in a tabular format. This will give you a list of every verb along with its parsing. It won't give you a gloss of the verbs, though.

What would really give you exactly what you want would be Todd Beall's Old Testament Parsing Guide (unfortunately not available in Logos, but I've put in a request for it). The link there has sample pages and all the pages for Song of Solomon are available if you search for it. But that won't help you get it into Logos or Word in a format that would allow you to select and edit the text.

If you have the Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear (available in Original Languages base package and Scholar's Gold on up, or it can be ordered separately), then you can see, for every word in the text, the parsing info and a translation. This doesn't give you just a list of verbs which you want, but you could create a Visual Filter that highlights the verbs, and that would make them stand out to you.

Here's the visual filter you'd use:

Turn the visual filter on in Lexham:

Set up the Interlinear with whatever lines you want to display, and the verbs will be highlighted via the visual filter:

If you hover your mouse over any verb, you'll get additional info about what that parsing code stands for in a popup down at the bottom:

Yes, I know it's still not a list like what you wanted. Maybe someone else will chime in with a suggestion to get you all the way there.
