Hansinl Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hebrew forms are often with suffixes, articles or preposition (or all of them ...). When I want to do a quick search on the root of a word, I therefore first have to delete these options from the search line. Is there a way to do it faster? I tried all the options opening up when I right-click the word (combination), but they all end in listing up all the combined parts of the word. When I - for example - want to look up the word הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם from Gen 1:14, but do not want to limit it to the occurences with the article, I first have to delete the search for the article in the search line. Is there a shorter way? Hansi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yes, if you select the word itself in the text, you should get a search only on that lemma or root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrderek Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Hi Helen I'd like to ask whether there's a simpler way of highlighting only the root. When I double-click a hebrew word, it highlights the whole hebrew word plus prefixes/suffixes etc. Is there a feature where I hold a key and double-click the word to select the root only? I find trying to highlight the root often takes time which adds up when I'm doing it often. Thanks Edited October 10, 2015 by mrderek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Allison Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 You can right-click (or control-click) on the word and select "Search For -- Root". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrderek Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Hi Mark Searching for root is different to searching for lemma. E.g. with the word השמים, when I search for the lemma without the prefix, the lemma search is שמים. If I right-click השמים and choose root search, it searches for ננ+ and ה+.

Helen Brown Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 NN means the root is Not kNown, and LL means it's a foreign Language word (Loazit in Hebrew), so in this case there is no root to search for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
