Search for people talking in third person

Hi everyone,

I work with minority people groups around the world whose grammars are different than ours.  I'm looking for a way to find every verse where someone is addressed in the third person (e.g. Est 8:5) or refers to themselves in the third person (e.g. Est 8:8).  That sort of indirect communication isn't possible in many languages and needs to be translated carefully.  All of my searches in the forums led to the third person of the trinity or the Greek third person.  Any ideas on how to find them?

Thanks,

-Caleb

    I hope this helps:

    <LogosMorphHeb ~ V?W3?S> INTERSECTS <Sense = to say (express)>

    ---> Third person verb of saying e.g. "said".
