Wleach Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Does anyone know how to create a search for the following: I want to find all occurrences of a Hiphil, infinitive construct where the initial 'he' has been replaced by a preposition (syncopation). Thanks, Weyland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lang Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Weyland, Try this: [VERB hifil infinitiveConstruct] @-"h*" <PRECEDED BY> <WITHIN 1 Words> [PARTICLE preposition] I came up with 46 hits, which would amount to 23 occurrences. Be sure to click the Details button and look at the Analysis tab. This will show you the various verbs which are used in this construction, along with the three prepositions used. Hope this helps.

Helen Brown Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Surely it is simpler to just make it a phrase: [PARTICLE preposition] [VERB hifil infinitiveConstruct] @-"h*" of course in the entry box the Particle precedes the Verb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
