Generating vocab lists

[Matthew Seymour]

Hi,

 

I'm wondering if it is possible to get accordance to output a list of all the words that occur less than a certain number of times within a particular passage/book.

Thanks.

HTH,

[range Mark] <AND> [count 1]

 

You can adjust the range name and the count number as needed.

The command [COUNT 1-2] with the range set to Romans (in the More options section below the search definition pane) will give a list of 875 words that occur only once or twice in the book of Romans, though it will be apparent that many of these (such as the first hit Pauvlo
