Using Ephesians 2:8 as an example, is there a way to do a morphological search in the Greek New Testament to find all of the verses that contain a demonstrative neuter pronoun without a corresponding neuter noun?
Simple Morph Search for morph.g:RD???N NOT WITHIN 9 WORDS morph.g:N??N The separation can be varied. Also try a Morph Query
This allows a search that spans verses.
Thanks Dave! The Morph search worked perfectly.👍️
Sorry, apparently I can’t edit my own post. I meant that I wanted to find instances of neuter pronouns without any corresponding nouns BECBECAUSE of the presence of the neuter pronoun in Ephesians 2:8 but that verse DOES have a corresponding neuter noun in agreement. But I wanted to see if there were any verses that DID NOT have the kind of agreement. Hope this helps.
In the Morph Query, alter the search span of 2 verses to one and remove the span of 10 words. Alter the precise search to morph.g:RD???N NOT morph.g:N??N
This ensures there is no "corresponding" Noun in the same verse.
I am curious about your search. You are searching for neuter demonstrative pronouns without a corresponding neuter noun. By corresponding neuter noun are you meaning one that agrees in gender number case? or just with a neuter noun in general
Specifically, I wanted to find if there were any verses in the Greek New Testament that had examples like Ephesians 2:8 of demonstrative neuter pronouns without any corresponding neuter nouns that agreed in case, number, and gender of course, with that specific kind of pronoun.
There is no particular significance as far as I know to how far the antecedent is from its pronoun and the unit of verse is an artificial overlay on the text rather than a linguistic unit. Now that you've heard my rant. Here my serious answer. What you appear to be looking for is neuter pronouns with no obvious reference (antecedent). That is a very good question to ask because it shows that the text may be ambiguous or have a textual flaw in the base manuscript or many other interesting issues to explore. But a regular search is not able to find them - find neuter pronouns that over an undefined span of text do not have a substantive that can be assigned as antecedent will never cut the mustard for a precise search. However, this is exactly the kind of thing that commentators and exegetical handbooks love to explore at length. A smart search allows you to not know the exact language or location but still find the information.

What is the difference between the Logos books LXX-G 12ProphApp I and LXX-G 12ProphApp II? I thought they were all the notes separated into two volumes, but that is not it. They appear to cover the same books. Both begin with Hosea, but there are completely different notes for each book.
