Can anyone explain why this NA27 morph search doesn't work?
@vaai3s ANDEQUALS *σε
I'm looking for every instance in the NA27 where an aorist active indicative 3s verb occurs without the movable nu. I get no results. I should get one in Acts 23:22.
Hi Brin,
Per the wiki at http://wiki.logos.com/Detailed_Search_Help#Wildcards you'll see this:
Please note: ANDEQUALS and NOTEQUALS do not work in morphological searches if you use the @sign.
Try this, it at least found the test case you mentioned: (I am using NA27 w/GRAMCORD with GRAMCORD Morphology)
<GrMorph = V3SAAI> ANDEQUALS *σε
I just searched in Acts to speed things up. I had to use
<LogosMorph = VAAI3S> ANDEQUALS *σε
(instead of GrMorph) with NA27 and it returned 23.22 as the lone hit.
I used that search on the SBLGNT and you get 5 hits.
With NA28 you got 0 hits.
This all just goes to show there is apparently considerable variation in the mss and depending on the Greek version you search you will get different hits.
Thanks, guys. That works.
To me this seems really clunky. To come up with the morphological tags (VAAI3s) I suppose one has to use the morph search, then transfer that over to Bible Search. I think this sort of search would be much easier if you could just use Morph Search.
There is a work-around: put the terms in parens, like so:
(@vaai3s) ANDEQUALS (*σε)
I'm not sure why the parens matter - seems like a design woops, but this should work for now.
Vincent, you're the man. Thanks!
The only problem is that this search took 323 seconds.
Well, the second time only took 12 seconds.
