Searching for third declension nouns
Is there any way to search for occurrences of third declension nouns in the Greek New Testament? I don't believe the declension of nouns is tagged in any of the Greek NT texts. I wonder if any of your search whizes could come up with a clever way to do this? I was trying to get some samples for teaching Greek and earlier in the course I wanted to avoid them when the students did not know about them. This is certainly not a critical tagging to add to any of the Greek NT texts, but I was just wondering.

Just curious if you were able to find 3rd declension nouns? I'm still wondering how to see declensions at all when I hover over a noun. Any help would be great

what base package do you own? what resource are you hovering over?

I have the scholars silver package. When I hover over nouns it just says (noun, accusative, singular, masculine) but that is the general layout. I really need to see the declension though such as (1st dec noun, accusative, singular, masculine) Any help would be great.

Sorry, I don't know enough Greek to "beat the system" but one could build a visual filter based on lemmas and assign classes manually much as the visual filters for frequency are built.

Can slowly use lemma wildcard search, which can be combined with morph search for nouns:

Not sure if this helps, but I built a (pretty large) search string using some automation and the site http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Ancient_Greek_third_declension_nouns&oldid=13150043
If you cut and paste the contents of the word doc into a morph search, it should pull all of the 3rd declension nouns mentioned on the site--from which a visual filter could be made for highlighting.

I thought I'd find out about "third declension":-
The third declension contains all nouns which do not belong to the first or second declension.
...The stems of third declension nouns end (1) in a consonant, (2) in a vowel,
...
The best way to learn 3rd declension nouns is to learn the Nom. Sing., Gen. Sing., and gender all at once.

Wow! That is quite a brute force method, but it does the job.
At least we know that the limit on a search string is huge!

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you! I pasted into a visual filter and can see third declension to familiarize myself. Thank you!
