Hello Alan, I'm searching for a book or source to find as many Hebrew cognates for a given word as possible. Any ideas? Is there such a list or source? I appreciate the help. Thank you, pat
Welcome to the forums. You will be more apt to get an answer if you start a new thread rather than resurrecting a thread that is 5 years old. Would you like me to ask that your post be moved to a new thread?
Patricia,
in addition to the welcome and advice MJ already gave you, some remarks: the capabilities of Logos have increased a lot over the past years. The core Greek and Hebrew orilginal language resources are tied to databases which include word roots (as well as referents, senses etc.).
Today one would simply answer the question above from the 2011 thread you originally posted to, which asked about roots/cognates for searches in Greek with the advice to run a morph search "root:διδωμι AND root:λεγω" (note that I not even needed to type Greek characters, I could write root:g:didomi and then root:g:lego).
Maybe you could provide some more details on your request, so that those fellow users who read Hebrew can help you with the right suggestions. It might be that e.g. the HALOT lexicon already lists what you need, or that you could run a search or build a concordance on the Hebrew Bible.

Not answering the OP's question, but fascinatingly related:

Just looking at the cover map is tasty. Plus there's a TOC and the surprise-me is the index. Dr Heiser's (sp?) inscription volume is more direct, but not as fun.
Patricia, your Hebrew-English lexicon can help you. Brown, Driver, Briggs arranges all its entries by word roots, thus grouping words sharing common roots for you. The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament and the Dictionary of Classical Hebrew both have lists of words sharing a common root at the end of many entries.
