two searches

I am trying to do a lemma search and a morphogy search at the same time.   Example [lemma: λεγω]  AND  morphology where the root λεγω only occurs in the present active indicative form.

I am using the command   lemma:λεγω AND @VPAΙ  but it returns  all occurances of the lemma λεγω including participles and infinitives   along with all verbs that occur in the present active indicative.

This is what I would expect from an OR operator instead of an AND operator.

I tried using a BOTH AND command to, but got the same result.

Is there a way to search for a specfic verb (or noun) with a specific morphology such as a participle, or infinitive, etc.

    Hi Joe.

    Try: lemma.g:λέγω@VPAI (L9: lemma:λέγω@VPAI, I believe) in the morph search dialog. After the lemma, type the @ to bring up the morph helper, and specify your codes.

    I am using the command   lemma:λεγω AND @VPAΙ  but it returns  all occurances of the lemma λεγω including participles and infinitives   along with all verbs that occur in the present active indicative.

    The reason for this is that the AND operator looks for verses or chapters (depending on the scope) where both terms exist. Nothing about those operators constrains them to the same word. For something like that, you would use the INTERSECTS operator, or use the special syntax for lemmas and morphology as Rick indicated.

  • Thank you.  That did the trick.  I presume it will also work in the Hebrew.  This was a great help.
