I'm trying to search for this Gk word but when I left click in the foot note no lexicons or my preferred lexicons do not show up.

How do I make it so that they do?

    Are you saying ANLEX, LXGRCANLEX, and LALS are not your preferred lexicons? Note that lemma forms are what are normally in dictionaries. What dictionaries contain the form you are looking at?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I just thought that ευδοκεω would be searched in a preferred dictionary(s) AND lexicon(s). So I suppose the easiest? way is simply to open up NA27/8 and look up the word that way. Right?

    Because it is treated as a Selection (and not a Lemma), it may only be found in Analytical Lexicons like ANLEX. If it was a dictionary word (or lemma), it would be found in an ordinary lexicon.

    NA27/28 will have lemmas, so you could do that!

    It is a way but in my thinking not the easiest. Actually that situation is exactly what you have the analytical lexicons for.

    Just look it up in ANLEX or LALS (it's even faster if you don't right-click, but double-click) and their analytical table which lists all word forms of a lemma will have the lemma right there. Right clicking this will give you the prioritized lexicons, so you can look it up in BDAG etc. without positioning NA, right clicking there, choosing the lemma and going from there.
