Strange Greek Personal Pronoun Search Fail


Joel Arnold

Recommended Posts

I just ran this search on both UBS Greek NT and NA 28.

 

[PRONOUN personal plural]

 

All I get is forms of autos, as though the first and second person don't exist. If I take out the plural, the others suddenly appear. It get's weirder. If I search for either of these I get a message that none exist.

 

[PRONOUN personal second plural]

[PRONOUN personal second singular]

 

But searching without a number marker gives me both singular (su forms) and plural (umeis forms).

 

What am I doing wrong here?

Interesting - it looks like the tagging in those cases do not include a plural tag :

 

Matt. 5:11     μακάριοί ἐστε
        ὅταν ὀνειδίσωσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ διώξωσιν καὶ εἴπωσιν πᾶν πονηρὸν καθ᾿ ὑμῶν [ψευδόμενοι] ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ.

 

Instant Details:

 

ὑμᾶς humas  σύ  su  Pronoun (pers) 2 acc  you; you people (when pl) (Complement)

[ESVS] G4771  you

 

I wondering if this is deliberate for some reason - certainly leads to unexpected results.

 

Thx

I get the same result searching the NA28 & NA27, but the LXX is tagged with number as well as person.  Odd.  Complete tagging here would be better, IMO.
