i plan to do a search in Philippians to find out how many time the word joy or rejoice occurs. Is there a way to do a search based on the root of Χαίρετε? I tried in NA 28 to search root:Χαίρετε, it returns nothing. How to make this work?
- your thinking is right, but Χαίρετε is a flexed form (imperative 2nd person plural: Rejoice!), you need to put the root form for this search. root.g:χαιρω will work. How do I know: I right-clicked on Χαίρετε in Phil 4:4 and on the left side of the context menu it gave me the lemma form (the ring symbol) and the root form (with the root symbol), when I selected the latter, Logos offered the inline search for NA28
