I want to search for example the word "heaven" in Greek and how many times it appears in the plural. How do I do that?

Thanks!

  • Morph Search Analysis can be done for cognate Greek lemmas or English translation:

    Do a morph search as KS4J mentioned.  Here is a screenshot setting up the search

    Note that I didn't specify the case.  If you wish you may include that as well.

    Right click on "heaven" in a Bible that has a reverse-interlinear (like the ESV. You can tell that a Bible has a reverse-interlinear if it has the icon circled in the picture below)

    Next, right click on the word (heavens or heaven) and in the right column choose "lemma:ουρανος". Then, in the left column choose "Morph search:ουρανος:NNPM" (or it might say "Morph search:ουρανος:NNSM).image

    Then make sure you are searching "All morph text" in "all passages" in the appropriate Bible with "logos Greek Morphology" (each set of blue text is a selection that can be changed). Next, click to the right of the words in the search bar. This will bring up the morphology selection screen. Make sure that under "Number", "Plural" is selected. Finally, click the blue arrow at the end of the search bar and the search will run.

    Alternatively, if you feel comfortable with Greek. Click the Search icon, choose morphological search, set the search range appropriately (as above) and type "lemma:ouranos" (you can transliterate, then select the correct lemma from the drop down list). Once the lemma is selected, type "@", which brings up the morphology selector, then pick the appropriate criteria and click the arrow!
