@V??M BEFORE 2 WORDS και BEFORE 2 WORDS @V??M

2 words was somewhat arbitrarily chosen to allow for an intervening word as in Mt 5.29.

To translate the symbols,

@ indicates that you are specifying something regarding the morphology of the word (even though no word is specified).
The "V" indicates that a verb is desired
The question marks indicate that I have specified nothing regarding tense or voice
The "M" indicates that the form is to be imperative

The drop-down form will guide you through it.

George, thank you so much for your prompt reply. This is really helpful. I had tried "@V??M BEFORE @V??M AND kai," but didn't figure out how to add in "BEFORE 1/2 WORDS." And, thanks for the tip that I should consider the situations about intervening words as in Mat 5:29.

Just tried to finish a Greek grammar research homework. I appreciate your help. Thanks!

And, George, do you know if I can try to do this search in syntax search? I have tried, using someting like this: word 1 (imperative) + word 2 (kai)+ word 3 (imperative), but it showed nothing. I feel syntax search is too complicated for me. .

Ask Dave Hooton. I have yet to successfully complete a sytax search.

Hi Daniel

Does this give you what you want

It is quite complex but can give more meaningful results in terms of grammatical significance, so based on Matt 5.29 I constructed the following:

The separation is dependent on the two clauses either side of the conjunction, rather than an arbitrary number of words. Graham's solution means that the words must follow one another.

You can compare the results of George's text search with this and decide which is the more useful.
