Word analysis in MT-LXX

[miketisdell]

Is there any way to get a summery of word usages from the MT-LXX module?

For example, if I want to know counts for each alternative Greek word used to translate a Hebrew word?

 

For example: 

 

חי : ψύχω - 3 times

חי : ζωη - 900 times

 

 

The only way I can seem to get this kind of information is by process of elimination i.e. identifying the primary translation, eliminating it from the search and then identifying the next most prominant and eliminating it from the search, etc.... This is pretty time consuming if a single word has many different translation options.

You might find it easier to use the TEXT command to search the LXX for occurrences of חי and then looking at the Analysis from there.

That gets me close to what I want but the results are not as accurate. For instances I get lots of prepositions, articles, etc... associated with the lexeme that is being search for. For example a text search for ψυχῇ from the Hebrew tagged text returns:

 

וְ (ו) and = 54

הַ (ה) the, Ha = 42

בְּ (ב) in, at, with = 39

לְ (ל) to, Le = 39

[Helen Brown]

You can isolate the cases where the ב is identified as the translation by adding @ב to the search string. Then you can see that the MT-LXX places a phrase in parallel with a phrase on each side. See the first example in Gen 27:46:

ב/חיי τῇ ζωῇ μου

Since Accordance bases the search equivalents on the MT-LXX Parallel, there really is no way to identify the primary word. In this case the primary word is always חי but you would have to check manually or add an asterisk to identify and analyze the next word.

ב/חיי τῇ ζωῇ μου
