miqraot Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Nowadays, I tried to find Cohortative verbs through Accordance. Because I wanted to test the accuracy of searching ability of this program. According to Paul Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 If you enter cohortative in the search box of the Help, it takes you to Hebrew and Aramaic Verbs (in the Reference section), and offers this help: The cohortative form is typically the imperfect form with an added heh. The cohortative meaning is used to express a command in the first person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Shields Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 What is puzzling here is that you get any results at all. Cohortatives are (as Helen's post of the Help indicates) first-person forms. Your search specified third-person forms. AFAIK volitional forms in the third-person are typically labelled "jussive" and "cohortative" is reserved for first-person forms. I also see the five results, perhaps Helen can check the new version of BHS-W4 to see if the search returns different results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is true, and you are right. Generally, student think these fomular: 1st person-cohortative, 2nd person-imperative, 3rd person-jussive. But, there are some exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
