Searching Hebrew word cases

The Textual note of Ge 10:21 in the NET reads:

 

tn Or “whose older brother was Japheth.” Some translations render Japheth as the older brother, understanding the adjective הַגָּדוֹל (haggadol, “older”) as modifying Japheth. However, in Hebrew when a masculine singular definite attributive adjective follows the sequence masculine singular construct noun + proper name, the adjective invariably modifies the noun in construct, not the proper name. Such is the case here. See Deut 11:7; Judg 1:13; 2:7; 3:9; 9:5; 2 Kgs 15:35; 2 Chr 27:3; Neh 3:30; Jer 13:9; 36:10; Ezek 10:19; 11:1.

Is there a way to find all “masculine singular definite attributive adjective” words which follow the sequence mentioned?

definite adjective can be found as a Phrase with Hebrew Syntax Search. In a Morph Search with Andersen-Forbes Hebrew Morphology select Noun and then Adjective under Noun Family and then Definite with. Either way it is actually a definite noun acting adjectivally.

Here is a Syntax search (based on Gen 10:21), which you should modify:-

e.g. Phrase 2 could be Noun, Construct.
