parsing all gramical forms of a word?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a way to get a list of all the grammatical forms of a Greek word in Logos?

In particular I would like to have all the forms, including those not found in the NT.

If not, are there any other resources (preferably online) where I can get this info?

thanks!

Well, any 1st year Greek grammar will have charts of the various ways that a representative word changes in its various forms.

Friberg's Analytical Lexicon of the Greek New Testament (you might have depending on your base package) will list a lemma and all the various forms of that word. I seem to remember it having forms that didn't show up in the NT, but its emphasis is on NT words.

Friberg is locked for my package (original languages). I do have several grammars. Mounce for example lists tense stems for words occurring more than 50 times, but not for every word in the NT (let alone tenses not occurring in the NT). Wallace has nothing on this.

Online the best thing I have found is the Unbound Bible Greek Lexical Parser: but this only list the forms that occur in the NT, and does not have accents. Again, I'm looking for all the words in the NT.and every tense even those not occurring in the NT.

Really though, I was assuming this must be possible to do in Logos (it clearly knows all the forms, I just need it to spit them out for me).

Logos uses tags rather than parsing on the fly - otherwise there would be irresolvable ambiguity. The Greek New Testament Insert may be close to what you want. May I ask how you intend to use the information? That might help us point you the correct direction.

You only refer to verbs here (tense) - are you looking for both conjugations and declinations? How do you want to treat varients i.e. words with prefixes?

Hi MJ,

You asked what I wanted to do with this. I'd like to be
able to say
"gee, what is the subjunctive present 1st person plural form of λέγω (to

say)?" and then go look that up.I'd also like to be able to see every grammatical form of a word at a glance

I'm thinking that I want an analytical lexicon like Kevin suggested. It looks like Logos
has 2: Friberg and Lexham. Any thoughts on which would be better? Could
someone with either of these post a screen shot please?

Without a resource like Fridberg you could do a search for the word in the Bible and get search results like this:

TIP: for a quick way to reduce the list once you've set up the Case, Gender, number, result sort order right click on a header bar (E.G. Accusative 153 results) and select "Summary view)

(And while I'm at it, isn't the last word in the search an indication of a bug? Shouldn't it be aligned with the rest of the Greek words?)
