Search for compound Greek verbs that begin with with συν·
I am trying to figure out how to find all instances of compound verbs that are built on any root verb with the preposition συν- as a prefix.
These verbs are very important for the Apostle Paul's theology of the results of our union with Christ. Some examples include:
- Believers have been crucified with (συσταυρόω) Christ (Romans 6:6)
- Believers have been made alive with (συζωοποιέω) Christ (Ephesians 2:5)
- Believers have been raised up with (συνεγείρω) Christ (Ephesians 2:6)
- Believers have been seated with (συγκαθίζω) Christ in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6)
- and many more...
I don't think I can do a root search, since these verbs do not include the συν- root in the context menu.
Here is what I have done using a morphological search on the NA28 Greek New Testament:
@V INTERSECTS συ*
This works quite well, although it finds some noise, since some verbs begin with συ- but they are not compound verbs. I cannot search for συν*, because this type of verb can have συν- or συγ- or simply συ-, depending on how the συν preposition contracts with the first letter of the root verb.
Can anyone think of a more efficient or more precise way to do this type of search?

I think @V INTERSECTS συ* is as good as one can get. The 120 results in Pauline Epistles all appear to be compound

The only thing wrong with this search is that it won't find any aorist or imperfect tense verbs, because these tenses have an epsilon augment as a prefix on the verb.
Is there any way I can use wildcards in a lemma search? I want to find all lemmas that begin with συ-, rather than the inflected form as it appears in the Greek New Testament It does not seem possible to search for lemma:συν* or συν*@V.

@V INTERSECTS συ* does! 202 aorist and 30 imperfect
lemma:συν*@V finds 117 aorist and 14 imperfect that overlap with the first search.
These queries will only work in Morph Search.

This MO works pretty well too: lemma:συν* OR lemma:συγ* OR lemma:συζ*
Ha! I see Dave's post now, and he's already said this (better)

Spoke too soon. What am I doing wrong here?
I am doing a Morph search on NA28 Greek New Testament. When I search for lemma:απ*@V, I get no results. Interestingly the pick list offers around 30 verbs that meet the criterion, but the search produces no results. I took the successful search for lemma:συ* and changed it to lemma:απ* and nothing was found.
A wildcard search for απ* works fine. But if I change the search to lemma:απ* or lemma:απ*@V, the search fails.
I am sure the problem is a user error, rather than a bug, but I cannot see what is going on. Please help my aging eyes to see my mistake!

I figured it out. A wildcard search for words that begin with a vowel must have a breathing mark. So the search lemma:ἀπ*@V works, but απ*@V does not work. Wildcard searches on roots do not need a breathing mark, but wildcard searches on lemmas require the breathing mark.

I think you just need a smooth breathing mark on that alpha.
Yeah. I was typing this while you were. Thanks!
