Searching for repeated lexemes in same poetic line

Cooper Smith

Hello all. I'm hoping to find some help in crafting a search.

I'm trying to do a search where I can find any verse in the poetic books (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs) and maybe some prophets (depending on what I find) where the same lexeme appears twice in the same verse. I'm especially keen on finding instances where a lexeme is repeated in the same poetic line but in different half-lines/cola. For example, in Job 36:5 the word כַּ֝בִּ֗יר appears twice, once in the first part of the poetic line and once in the second part. I want to find other occurrences in biblical poetry where this happens (but with any word -- not just kabir). Can I do this on a Morph search? If so, how do I indicate that I want the two nouns to be the same lexeme (or the same root could work)?

If it's only doable with a syntax search, I have the Anderson-Forbes and WIVU. For what it's worth, both seem to have Job 36:5a in a different clause (or whatever the highest level node is) from 36:5b--which I imagine complicates the search process. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can do it with a Morph Query, not a Morph Search

I restricted the search to Noun and Adjective (the words in Job 36:5 are adjectives in LHB).

Search Span states we are looking for a match in a single verse. The bottom Span (from Add relation) states a Proximity of 1 verse for the words, but you could require the words to be closer.

Syntax search can't restrict the match to a verse, as a Clause can span multiple verses (Job 34:27-28). Then complicate it with two clauses (for Job 36.5, and Job 34:28), which could be in the same verse, and it will be a complicated and frustrating method.
