Why the multiple forms and ellipsis LHB Concordance

On generating an original language report for Amos using the LHB selecting Heading, the report generated for Adonay has multiple forms some are grayed out and the report concludes with an ellipsis; there are 24 results. What is the significance of this?

Which OS and version of Logos are you using, please?

I'm running 8.14 on Windows 10 and I get different results for LHB Amos: only one word form is in black per heading.

As for the difference between black and gray word forms, I may be wrong, but I believe the black word form is the more common one. The grey word forms have different cantillations than the heading word.

The ellipsis means there are more word forms (but the tool only shows up to five). The ellipsis is a link (that will show the additional forms).

It's interesting that you also get two ellipses, one in black and one in blue. Probably related to the multiple headings issue.

Thanks, Petah

Is there any way to distinguish which forms are which not knowing Hebrew? LBS 8.14 macOS Catalina 10.15.5 MacBook Pro 2018.

I noted that if you uncheck Combine All Word Forms the entries group separately.

Another question arises. What is the difference between the forms used in Am 3.8 and Am 3.11? They appear identical although they appear under different headwords, the first with count 4 and the second with count 10.

Gee, Beloved. You missed a really nice prepub (shipped a week or so back):

I debated about reminding folks ... I thought maybe not many might value. It's quite readable ... Petah gave a nice summary of chapter one! Meaning might be arguable.

I think what you consider quite readable, might still be a deep dive for some of us! Enjoy!!

I will probably never learn cantillation (not that it wouldn’t be rewarding).

Our synagogue class recently advanced from prayer books (block letters, with vowels), to a Modern Hebrew textbook (script letters, no vowels). It felt so overwhelming at first to us, several of us considered dropping out of the class, but I’ve gotten to a point where it’s become enjoyable, and pleasantly satisfying learning to read Hebrew without vowels.
