Hebrew: homonym searching question
See this screenshot:
The Hebrew lemma da'at is listed in modern lexica as a homonym with 3 (?) different meanings.
How do I search all homonyms at once by right clicking?
Or do I need to enter the lemma in a search box manually?

Homonyms (actually homographs) are separate lemmas in Logos, so they need to be searched separately. Be aware that occasionally different morphologies may treat homographs differently (e.g. one morphology might recognise three separate lemmas, whilst another might recognise four).
The easiest way (I've found) is copy the lemma to the clipboard. When you paste it into the Morph search, you'll get each of the homographs in the suggested list. Choose the first one, add " OR " (without the quotes) to the search string, then paste again and choose the second one. Repeat as needed.

Mark, thanks for the quick reply!
I suggest this workflow should be improved.

As a side note, דעת in Is 53:11 seems to be tagged wrong. It's showing up in the context menu as דעת3 (sweat) rather than דעת1 (knowledge). This is the only verse that comes up when searching for that lemma. HALOT (and CHALOT) is the only one that I see which support this rendering and it also supports דעת1.
