Separating attached from independent מן


Susan

Recommended Posts

I would like to search for only prefixed/attached/inseparable forms of the preposition מן (i.e. -מ), to the exclusion of the independent/maqqef-connected instances. Is there a way to do this?

I'm at the very edge of what I recall of my Hebrew grammar here (so be kind), but have some thoughts. First, switch to a letters search. This search string will get you close:

־. <FOLLOWED BY> <NOT>  ‏(=מִן, =מִן־0)

 

However, sometimes (e.g. Gen 2:7; 3:17) it appears the maqqef has been tagged as part of the word מִן

 

I then tried a search that specifies an inflected form of the lexeme. It did eliminate the maqqef, though I'm not sure it captured everything else you want:

  ־. <FOLLOWED BY> <NOT> "‏מן@ "מ

I tried this : ֲמן @-.־

as a word search which seems good but unfortunately all qere are included in the results. I don't know why that is because they do not match the search - there is no מנ in the qere - at least not in the cases I checked. Seems that could be a bug.

 

Thx
