the lemma word verses the Greek text word

lawrence edward blackwell jr

In Romans 16:1 the english word is servant. the lemma word is diakonos G1249 and the Greek text word diakonon.The question is why is the Greek text word diakonon not in any Greek Lexicons but the lemma word diakonos is?

By definition, the lemma is the dictionary form of the word. The dictionary includes all forms of the word (think morphology) under the single lemma. In English this means you look for the lemma sit in the dictionary. Sit will include sit, sitting, sits, and sat.
