Lemmas unique to a Range?


David Knoll

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to search for those lemmas which only occur within a specified RANGE?

For instance all the lemmas which are unique within the Hebrew Bible to the Book of Ruth.

Many Thanks

Hello David,

 

Try the following:

[COUNT 1] <AND> [RANGE Ruth]

That search finds lemmas that occur only once in Ruth. I think David wants lemmas that don't occur outside Ruth. For that you need two tabs. In the first tab you search for all lemmas with * and a range that excludes Ruth (easiest to set up in the Range pop-up menu). In the second tab you have [Range Ruth] *@-[HITS firsttabname]. This finds all the lemmas in Ruth except those found in the first tab.

Thanks Brian,

 

Thought about that. If I understand correctly this only returns Hapax Legomena within the RANGE. I need to find words that can occur twice or thrice but do not occur at all outside the RANGE.

 

Thanks again

Wow, thanks for the fast and detailed reply.

Oh, I think I get it now!

The first tab's search is basically a word list that the second tab's search is ran against to query out or eliminate the hits from books other than Ruth.

 

So, I guess one could also use this method to compare the vocabulary of the Tanakh/ Bible with the Mishnah, too. I could find all the vocabulary unique to the Mishnah and I could find all the vocab that the Bible and the Mishnah have in common.

Helen: It worked.

Brian: You got it. That's exactly how it works.

 

Thank you both!

Shalom David!

 

I have got a whole lot to learn about conducting searches in Accordance. But, it seems when things are explained they tend to make sense and leave me thinking, "why didn't I see that before"? Or "WOw". Anyway, thank you for your question; it was pleasantly surprising to see how fast it got answered!!!
