Searching for final mem

I'm trying to figure out how to search for all instances of final mem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks for your help!

I tried searching for ם*, but that turned up forms with suffixes, such as שׁמו, as well as inflected forms without final mem whose lexical form had a final mem, such as שׁתי.

 

Other thoughts?

seems to do the trick..

That seems to have given me all instances of mem, including all initial and medial mems.

Oh, it counts them as hits, too? Hmm.. I figured that .ם would search for (and only count) this exact character in every word, which of course would include other mems if there are any.

Entering *M by itself will search for all lexical forms ending with mem. You want to enclose your search in quotation marks to find all inflected forms ending in a final mem, like this: "*M"

Pchris, aha—I tried your suggestion again, this time using the Hebrew keyboard to type in the final mem rather than just typing "m" and letting Accordance set the form for me automatically, and it worked!

 

Thanks for your help!
