How to Find all Hebrew words in LN semantic domain

Louw and Nida lists Greek words by Semantic Domain.  Swanson Hebrew Dictionary references those domains.  How can I get all the Hebrew words within a certain domain, e.g. LN 5.1-5.22?

Thanks.

    Do a basic search on the lexicon using this syntax <LouwNida = Louw Nida 6.29–6.40> You could then export the search results and delete all of the stuff you don't want. There's no way to do this type of search on an actual Hebrew Bible as they are not tagged with LN numbers

    Ross,

    The other possibility is to search AFAT which has it's own form of semantic domain coding. It's not as detailed as LouwNida, but there is an entry for food. To use it, the syntax is <AndersenForbesSemanticDomain = Food>

    Kevin and Mark,

    Thank you! Great.  BTW is there a master list of the tags in every resource?  I didn't realize that AFAT tagged Semantic Domain.  What else am I missing?  Thanks again.

    I know of no exhaustive list.

    You can find a compiled list of morph codes here http://wiki.logos.com/Morphology_Codes This should help you know what each particular morphology does. 

    http://wiki.logos.com/List_of_Datatypes  has the most common datatypes that one can search for in Logos; However, as I skimmed it I didn't see the A-F semantic domains listed. I think it has that because of it's connection to the A-F syntax database.

    The 'tags' are called Reference Types. There's no list of Reference Types in each resource, unfortunately.

    Neither are there lists of all the possible values for each reference type. However, you can use Syntax Search to show you a list of the possible values for AFAT SemanticDomain. To do so, create an Syntax Search that contains a phrase, then view the Semantics options for that phrase.
