Odd search result

Recommended Posts

I did a search for  [VERB second] <XOR> [PRONOUN personal second] <AND> [RANGE james]  and got the expected results. However, I then searched  [HITS NA28 Greek NT (Sigla) 3] <AND> [RANGE james] in another tab and things got weird. For example, it highlighted infinitives??? You'll see this in the second picture at verse 18.

That seems to have worked, but why? what does 'I' do? I don't recall ever seeing that before? What I'm doing is temporarily highlighting first person and second person pronouns/verbs a different color to see their distribution in James. That's what the 'hits' window was leading to.

HITS on it's own uses the lexical forms of the hit words and does a lex search finding all inflected forms for those lex forms. So you see forms in the second search that the first excluded. HITS=i uses the inflected forms and does an inflected search so you don't get other forms.
