1) Is it possible to make a VF that marks proper nouns? Even better one that distinguishes between people and place names?
2) Is it possible to make a VF that marks all words in a particular semantic domain?
As far as #2, would creating a filter something like the following work? This would mark with a VF occurrences of eres that have been translated as "earth" in my chosen Bible.
(([field bible] <lemma = af/he/ארץ>) ANDEQUALS ([field bible] earth))

This is good start to get me going in a direction that might work ... not a complete answer but a definite help. Thanks.
Not with Logos Greek morphology in NT Reverse Interlinears. But the Robinson morphology in TR Greek bibles has an Indeclinable Proper Noun. The Andersen-Forbes Hebrew morphology used in Rev Int's distinguishes people and place.
<LN domain> will do that for NT in Rev Int's and many Greek Interlinear bibles. Andersen-Forbes may offer you something for the OT.
I ran this search <LN 93.1-93.385> and got all the names in the NT. I saved it as a passage list, though I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it[:)]
M.J. You can run the same search with the domain range for places as well.
Thanks Dave
I saved it as a passage list, though I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it
I'm going to use it to mark Greek words that I don't need to look up in the dictionary just 'cause they are names
Hi M.J.
seems to work for NA27 as shown below:
does something similar for the ESV RI as show below
(Ignore the blue highlighters in this one - that is due to another filter I have set!)
Is that any use to you?

Thank you Graham - serves my purpose perfectly.

Sorry, but I am not understanding how to read this filter or set it up. Can you help clarify?
Graham ,would you please tell me how you could make it? ''field......XP?
To create the filter:
To read it: everything highlighted in red is a proper noun. Why would you want to use it? The reason I wanted it was to work with vocabulary lists based on the frequency with which the Greek word occurs. I can then look at the highlighting and have a good sense whether I can bumble my way through the passage or if I'd spend all my time in a dictionary.
