Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: BDAG question - Logos Forums

Just to toot Faithlifes' horn  a little, what you can easily use (or this and a whole lot more) is Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament 

Example below.  Notice how it shows 'cognate' words (closely related), and then Bible references by sense (you can copy into your Passage List).  They also have one for hebrew, the LXX, and Latin as well.  The one for the LXX is good, since it shows the greek sense that early Christians would have seen, relative to hebrew.

Analytical lexicons show their colors, when you're in an untagged resource (eg greek) and the form isn't a lemma.  The Analytical will normally have it.

You probably don't want more, but for anyone else, Faithlife takes it a step further in Lexham Research Lexicon of the Greek New Testament 

where they show the senses 'in-situ'.  Again, they have one for hebrew, the LXX, and NT (but not Latin).

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
