Parsing explanations for Greek
I am studying Greek at a seminary, and I have learned endings that coincide with the articles, but many times i and a word that does not seem to follow the rules. Today I was reading and found the word witnesses (μαρτυρες). Their was no article. The morphology guide said it was NNPM (Noun, Nominative, Plural, Masculine). I would have thought the ending would have been “οι”. I finally figured out that this must be a 3rd declension noun since the ending is “ες “. Does Logos have a resource that can explain why a word is parsed the way it is? In this case it might say that the ending is “ες “ because it is third declension. I can easily find the Morphology or parsing, but it would be nice to understand why it is the way it is.
Many words instead of sa for aorist use another letter instead of the s. δεξάμενοι is an example. I was hoping for a tool the would point out why this is aorist.
Please let me know if you have such a tool. Thank you for your time.

Welcome [:D]
Apologies since not know of a Logos resource that has parsing explanations. Concur several analytical lexicons have NNPM parsing.
Thankful search of library for μάρτυρες found many results, including 3rd declension stems ending in ρ
Moulton-Howard-Turner Greek Grammar Collection (5 vols.) includes μάρτυς declination.

click the "MORE" button in the top right corner of your post, it should have an "edit" option for you (which goes away after some hours) along with other options like "report abuse" which are available for others, too.
Have joy in the Lord!

You can explore the morphology of individual words in the Morphology Charts feature:
Tools | Interactives | All interactive resources | Morphology chartsYou could also use the Kairos: A Beginning Grammar, "Appendices 1-4" for basic forms of first, second, and third declension as seen in the definite articles. -- https://ref.ly/logosres/kairosgram;ref=Page.p_261
Hope this is helpful.
