DCH Abbreviations List; Where Is It?

[Enoch]

David Clines, DCH, Hebrew lexicon has a number of abbreviations, most notably between < >, making major lexicographical divisions based on the syntax in which the headword is found in Classical Hebrew. Unfortunately, I don't find in the Accordance module a list of these abbreviations, & a search of the module text yield nothing when one searches for "abbreviations." It is hard to believe that a work like this would be published without a list of abbreviations. Are they in some read-me file somewhere?

 

One such example is

<NOM CL>

Hi Enoch, they are there, on p89 and 90 in the module. Not easy to find, and in the abbreviations, NOM CL is abbreviated nom. cl. which is why the search didn’t find it.

 

But here they are anyway...
