HeatherM Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 This is really a question about how Greek word searches (lexeme) work. When I do a lexeme search on εἷς (one) in a Greek text (NA28) the search returns all occurrences of both εἷς (one) and εἰς (preposition, into). The only difference is the breathing marks/accent. Should the lexeme search on a Greek text distinguish between these two? Is there another way I can do the search that would distinguish them? Thanks.

Joel Brown Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 If you precede your search with an equals sign (=) it will only find the exact form you specify, including accents and marks. For example: =εἷς Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Grassi Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 If you precede your search with an equals sign (=) it will only find the exact form you specify, including accents and marks. For example: =εἷς Sorry for jumping in here, but I was just looking for possible ways to search also for iota subscript (e.g. λυθῇ) words. = doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Joel Brown Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 λυθῇ is the inflected form (for the lexical form λύω), so be sure to surround your search with double quotes: "=λυθῇ" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
