Dear Colleagues,

I am attempting to determine whether the cognate accustive constructions I have found in Zechariah 1:1, 1:14-15, and 8:2-3 are the only uses of a cognate accustives in the book.

I would also like to compare the uses of cognate accusative constructions in Zechariah with cognate accustive constructions in the rest of the Hebrew Bible.

How do I configure a search that identifies all cognate accusatives in a morphologically tagged Hebrew text?

For the purposes of clarity, by "cognate accusative" I mean that a given root AAA occurs as both a verb and its object in a sentence. It would probably be sufficient to search on verbs and nouns, without having to specify parsing, But I don't know how to find [AAA-Verb] + [AAA-Noun], where AAA can be any root.

Suggestions? I am using BibleWorks 7 and Logos 4.

Sincerely,

Christopher Lovelace
