Am I missing the obvious? Hebrew vs. Aramaic
Is there anything in a Bible/reverse interlinear that indicates where the language changes from Hebrew to Aramaic? I'm looking in Daniel 2.

You could right click, select the lemma, then choose a Bible search. This will use something like this as the search text: <Lemma = lbs/arc/חֵ֫לֶם>
From this you can determine that the language of the lemma is Aramaic (arc).
Another idea would be to prioritize an Aramaic lexicon (such as HAL Aramaic). Then right click and select the lemma and see if it shows up in your Look up list.

It was difficult to make this search, but somehow, accidentally or providentially, I came to this view and was able to choose the Aramaic Portions.
Even if you get this selection list open, you have to scroll to the very bottom, may not be visible initially.
The key is to get the reference to the Bible(BHS). Most of the time it suggested Bible(SBLGNT), which does not give the "Aramaic Portions" option. Is there any way to change the reference Bible in a consistent and reliable way?

Each Bible has its own 'Common Divisions'. You just need to ensure that the Bible with the correct ranges is selected in the search – if not, it will use the most highly prioritised Bible that is possible with this search.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for. Just an idea, not sure how precise or complete:
Thanks in that is a useful search I wasn't aware of. But I'm really looking for a clue in the text itself or the reverse interlinear.

Another method, which is not a direct indication in the interlinear text but nevertheless does take advantage of the morph tagging in the text, is this:
1) Open the information pane and set it to click, not hover
2) Under definition, go under settings, remove all language but aramaic
3) Make sure the definition section is not collapsed
When you click on a non-aramaic word, nothing will appear, when it is aramaic, a definition will show.
