Is there any way to automate marking up repeated words in a biblical passage?

I know I can manually do find repeated words by turning on emphasis of associated words and clicking on one word at a time.

I know I can create a word list in a passage that shows word frequency in a Bible translation or the original language text.

Is there any way to leverage these technologies to automatically mark up words that occur in that passage more than a certain number of times?

It would be very useful if each repeated word were highlighted in a different color. It would great if this markup could be turned on or off for a passage, like highlights of a certain palate.

Just wondering if I am overlooking this capability.

    Worthy of a feature request

    It isn't exactly what you are looking for, but for others who may have questions about repeating words,,,,

    Turning on "Corresponding Words" Filter in the Emphasize tab will highlight all OTHER repeated occurrences of a particular word (either surface text or underlying lemma) In my example I clicked on "Jesus" in John 19:28 and got all other occurrences of the name

    You can use the Agree(ment) option of a Syntax Search or a Morph Query for arbitrary words at arbitrary intervals, but a Visual Filter is not possible due to the limitations of (text) Search

    A third word is specified in order to eliminate three words in succession. The words are restricted to the same verse via Search Span.
