How to search for all occurrences of מֵעַל

[AdamRob]

Can anyone tell me how to search for all occurrences of מֵעַל in the OT? This is the מִן preposition attached to the עַל preposition. 

 

Thanks!

A simple word search for מן על seems to get them

 

Thx

Thanks Mithril, but that search brings up 1293 results, most of which are unrelated to what I want. Do you know how to search only for מֵעַל? I don't have the time to sift through so many results.

I don't think I got anywhere near that number - something like 300 or so I think. I can double check tonight. I am no longer at the relevant machine.

If you put it in quotes and do a letters search you end up getting other incorrect results.

 

BTW, Mithril is a ranking on the forum like Gold, Bronze etc. I have probably confused matters by putting my name in Hebrew: דָנִיאֶל

 

Thx

Thanks Daniel,

 

I've never used the forum before and didn't see where your name was listed. I assumed the name directly above your picture was your name, not a ranking. I usually send e-mails to the Accordance staff for help on search issues, but they were unable to help me today and directed me to the forum.

The simplest way to learn to formulate any search is to find one occurrence, select it and right-click, then choose to search for the lexeme or the inflected form. The inflected form gives 310 if you don't use an equal sign to specify the vowel points. The lexeme with equals finds 305. I cannot imagine how you got 1293.

Thank you Helen! That worked perfectly!
