Why does searching for דוד (David) find Uncle (דֹּד֖וֹ, Lev 20:20) as well?

Clearly I have some learning to do about the Hebrew Search. It doesn't behave as I expect. How does one go about learning the idiosyncrasies of searching hebrew?

 

Thanks!

The default search is for the lexical form, ignoring the voweling. If you pick the word from the list, and add an = before it, it will search based on the vowels (of the lexical form). Or you can add a condition such as @[NOUN prop] which would eliminate all forms except proper names.

 

Yes, there is a lot to learn when searching Hebrew.

Where abouts do you live Jacob - did you make it to any of our east coast seminars this year? (we made it to each of Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne)
