Continuing with my study on prayer...
I've got a list of English words from the N.T. which somehow relate to prayer, e.g. ask, request, pray, petition, beseech, intercede, give thanks, etc.
I'd like to find the unique set of Greek words (dictionary form is fine) which are translated as one of the words in that list. The result would be the mathematical union of all those Greek words that anywhere were translated as one of the words in my list.
If I were to express this search using SQL pseudocode, it would be something like:
SELECT DISTINCT {lemma}
FROM {appropriate N.T. resource, say NAS95 interlinear}
WHERE {surface} IN ({my list of words})
I hope that makes sense. I think the trickiest part is having L4 eliminate the duplicates for me. Can I do this with out-of-the-box (Platinum) L4 functionality?
Extra credit: Assuming I can get that list - each Greek word just once in the results - I then want to find the unique set of English words into which those Greek words are translated (i.e. my original list of English words may not be exhaustive).
Any possibility of this? Thanks again,
Donnie
