ldeck Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I was attempting to highlight the disjunctive clauses in Obadiah, but was finding it a bit of a challenge finding the non wawConsecutives. In particular I wanted to find all waw + noun constructions. I'm still learning the searching syntax for Accordance, but eventually was able to use the following to do this: [noun] <WITHIN 1 Words> <PRECEDED BY> =וְ (The above is probably left to right instead of right to left). So, a couple of questions: 1) is there an easier syntax for the above search? 2) if not, would it be possible in future to do something like this instead? "[noun]וְ=" Edited February 17, 2015 by ldeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This search seems to work for me: "[noun]ו" (typing quote-w-[noun]-quote) Is this what you are looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldeck Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 When I type quote, waw, [noun], quote Accordance inserts a space between [noun] and the final quote. When I remove that space and hit enter, accordance complains: "The relationship between words is ambiguous. If a phrase is meant, then a space should appear between words.

Joel Brown Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Sorry, I intended there to be a space. The space is actually a good thing - Accordance considers the prefix a separate 'word' from the main lemma, so you are actually looking for it as a phrase.

ldeck Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Ah, okay. Not intuitive, but makes some sense. I would have thought entering a space within quotes, you see, implies you're also looking for something separated by a space. I understand they're considered separate words, but they're not displayed as such. Thanks! Edited February 17, 2015 by ldeck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
