How do I create a visual filter for Hebrew words?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Good morning everyone,

I have been trying my hardest to discover how to create a visual filter for my BHS that highlights all verbs and nouns that occur more than 100 times in the text. This was easy for Greek; I just copy the word in, add lemma: before it, and poof, it works. For Hebrew, the more I work at it, the further I seem to get from having a functional filter. I want it to show all the +100 frequency nouns, in all their forms, and all of the +100 verbs in all of their forms. Not just Qal Perfect 3SM. Is there a way to do this? What do I have to add into the word filter to make this work?

PS lemma.h: does not work for this, nor does lemma.sesb.h: work. I think it's something to do with the verbs…

Can't help on frequency, but the best way to see how Logos does a desired search, is find an example (eg hebrew), right click it, select the morph search (your goal) and review the produced search. Substitute '?' in the morph, for 'any'.

How would you then take the information you find and put it into a visual filter? I already have a list of all the words I want highlighted. When I created the one I use for Greek, I had to manually put every word into the visual filter, and I assume I will have to do the same here, but when I put them in, they are not being highlighted.

The syntax depends on the bible e.g. lemma.sesb.h:(אמר.1 OR פקד OR מלא) works for lemmas in BHS SESB 2.

Construct your query in a Morph Search and run it. Then click "Save as Visual Filter" in the Panel Menu.
