L/V 10 Tip of the Day #76 Find all verses written in Aramaic
Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.
This tip is inspired by the forum post: How do find all the Aramaic verses in the Bible? - Logos Forums
Aramaic may be identified by either lemma or morphology, therefore assume that a morphology search is the most appropriate.
The lemma approach builds the search argument as lemma + period + a for Aramaic + colon + * for any value i.e., lemma.a:* This picks up a false positive on an Aramaic place name.
The morphology approach assumes that every verse will contain at least one noun or verb. The terms connected by OR are each built as morph + period + a for Logos Aramaic morphology + colon + N for noun (or V for verb) i.e., morph.a:N OR morph.a:V. This yields the same results as the lemma search.
