Unexpected Word List Results

  1. I used BHS to create Genesis-Obadiah & Micah-Malachi Word Lists which I then combined into an OT Except Jonah Word List
  2. I subtracted my OT Except Jonah Word List from my Jonah Word List
  3. The resulting Word List includes:

Now I would expect that this list would be any words only found in Jonah, but a search for the second lemma (שׁתק) also yields Psalms 107:30 & Proverbs 26:20...What is going on?

    Old Testament book order is Gen - Obad & Micah - 2 Chron for LHB (omitting Jonah)

    (Micah - Mal) omits Psalms, Proverbs + other some books, but check the TOC of  your BHS for the book order.

    Thank you - That worked :)  I keep forgetting that the book order changes depending on the resource.

    One other question - Why do some of the Word List results have a "1" in the lemma and how do I run a search for such a lemma?

    It differentiates similar lemmas - homonyms. Tap the lemma, but select only the Hebrew word  and paste into a Morph Search. From the lemma suggestions select the one with the correct meaning (with the same number prefix).

    Perfect - Thanks.

    Looks like the format is "lemma:#:HEBREW" (eg. lemma:עשׁת:1)
