Dieudonne Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 How can one search for homonyms of either Greek or Hebrew words? Help please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Accordance searches for homonyms by default, as it simply searches for a specific character string—unless we add a grammatical [morphological] or a syntactical tag. [We can tell Accordance to include capitalization, accent, and breathing marks by placing an equals sign (=) in front of the word.] There is an easy way to see this in a Hebrew text. Select Search>Enter Lexical Forms, then type b-r-a in the entry field. You'll see three different roots, distinguished by (1), (2), (3). These are the three different Hebrew words that all use this same trilateral [sometimes called "triliteral"] root. In a Greek text, select Search>Enter Inflected Forms, then type e-n. You'll see a number of different inflected forms differentiated only by their accents and breathing marks. Unless you include those in your search, Accordance will simply find every word spelled "en." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
