Peter Brylov Christensen Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Hi there, Brian The search criteria are true for the hollow verbs with a waw, but it won't count the hollow verbs with a yod. I think this should work (read from the right to the left): [sUFFIX] ?י?@ [VERB hifil wawConsecutive third] <OR> [sUFFIX] ?ו?@ [VERB hifil wawConsecutive third] This yields 123 hits. Granted, with your search conditions, the search for ע''י verbs only added two extra results, וַיְבִינֵ֔הוּ in Isaiah 40:14 and וַיְקִאֶ֑נּוּ in Job 20:15, but I guess it still counts. With kind regards Peter Christensen *EDIT* Typo: Changed "Ezekiel" to "Isaiah" Edited March 21, 2015 by Pchris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi Brian and Peter, Peter’s search will find the waw and yod hollow verbs but I would use this for economy. [sUFFIX] ?(יו)??@ [VERB hifil wawConsecutive third] The second ? is limited in this search to being either a yod or a waw. And voila! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Brylov Christensen Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks for pointing this out, Ken - it looks a lot neater than my search criteria. Edited March 21, 2015 by Pchris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
