Searching for Greek prepositions in Logos 6
Hello fellow siblings of Christ,
I have a question regarding searching for prepostions in greek. Is there an easy way of searching for prepositions immeadiately followed by a certain case? e.g. if I wanted to seach for instances of διά followed by a genitive, how would I go about doing this?
Thanks very much and God bless

There are also instances where it's an adjective or article immediately following the preposition, so you might want to add slightly to Dave's search as follows:
lemma:διά@P BEFORE 1 WORD (@NG, JG, DG)
Certainly with διά there aren't any participles immediately following the preposition, but you might need to add that in as well. What surprised me when I tried this, is that it doesn't produce any results if you put the @ before the additional options in the search - you learn something every day! In fact, it only worked when I accidentally omitted the @ after the comma.
EDIT: I'd put a split infinitive in my original post and it was driving me crazy!

At some point, you might consider using Syntax Search options, which take a bit more time to set up but are often much more powerful than morph searches. Here, you can do in Cascadia, a Syntax Search of a Prepositional Phrase dividing into the Terminal Node dia followed by a word in the genitive case.
