TIP: Can't Remember that Greek Word?? Look for the Gloss

I guess I just never looked. But reading Libby's BDAG Search Manual (true!), most of the heavy-duty lexicons allow searching on the english gloss. And offer even more interesting choices. A few:

BDAG: 'Formal Equivalent' = gloss; also 'translation equivalent'

LSJ: gloss, plus etymology and prosody!

MM: gloss

HALOT: gloss

TLOT: gloss

Gesenius: gloss

DCH: gloss

Collins Latin: gloss

In your Basic Search, you select from the search field (1st) menu choice.

Well, this is about the coolest thing I've learned today. I tagged every Lexicon in my library, and now I can search the gloss in 55 of them. This was a GREAT post - thanks!

Can also specify field for search: e.g. ([field gloss] king) that can be used in Web App (does not yet have field selector for search)

FYI: gloss is searchable in several Bibles too: LHB, LXX Swete, SBLGNT
