Does anyone know of a Logos resource that will search the NT for Greek stems?

    Currently Logos does not have the ability to search for stems per-se. There's been some word that they are working on something like this but no word on when it might be out. You can, use wildcards to approximate stem searches... that is spell the stem out and attach a wildcard to the front and the back, if the vowel could be accented you might need to run a couple of searches to catch everything. Alternatively you can find cognate lists in the Lexham analytical dictionary, if you attach lemma: to the beginning of each entry and separate them with commas you can get a functional equivalent to a stem search.. but it is a lot of work.

    Yes.  It is a lot of work and unfortunately any time we use wildcards, it takes a long time to run a search.  :(

     

    BUT, Kevin, your suggestion with the Lexham Analytical Dictionary is exactly what I am looking for in the cognate entries.  This will help.  What I am trying to find are the compound words that the NT writers sometimes make with common words.  I want to find these compound words that have the common stem.

     

    Thanks for a good suggestions

    A morph search for a comma separated list of lemma's seems a bit faster than wildcard searching.  Also, the Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament has many compound lemma's:
