Grammatical Concordance
How to move from a grammatical question to comparable NT Greek occurrences.
What question belongs here?
Use this concordance when your main question concerns morphology, grammatical category, parsed form, syntactic role, or a recurring grammatical construction.

Step 1 — Open the Grammatical Concordance
Step 2 — Begin with one grammatical question
Do not start by trying to understand every field. Decide what you are looking for, for example:
- genitive noun forms;
- a particular verb tense/mood/voice;
- a pronoun or article construction;
- a syntactic role;
- occurrences of the same grammatical pattern in one book or author.
Step 3 — Use the search/filter controls
Use the available morphology, grammar, book/reference, lemma/form and view controls to narrow the data to the grammatical phenomenon you are studying.
Start broad, then add one filter at a time. This makes it easier to see which filter changed the result set.
Step 4 — Use “Grammar & View” deliberately
Where the interface offers Grammar & View or related view controls, choose the view that corresponds to the information you need rather than trying to display every analytical layer at once.
Step 5 — Read a result row from form to function
For each relevant occurrence, move through the evidence in this order:
- Reference — where does it occur?
- Greek form — what is actually written?
- Lemma — what lexical item is it?
- Morphology — what form is encoded?
- Grammar/syntax — what role is assigned?
- Context — does that analysis make sense in the verse/clause?
Step 6 — Compare occurrences, not isolated labels
The power of a concordance is comparison. Select several examples of the same construction and ask what they share and where they differ.
Worked example — a Genitive study
- Open the Grammatical Concordance.
- Use the available grammar/morphology filters to narrow results to Genitive forms.
- If the result set is large, restrict it to a particular book.
- Inspect the Greek form and morphology of representative occurrences.
- Examine the supplied syntactic/grammatical role.
- Open important verses in context.
- Compare the examples with the Grammar chapter on Genitive syntax.
Important — “Source-supplied syntax”
Where syntax is identified as source-supplied, treat the label as structured research data supplied by the source. It is not a claim that GTM independently human-reviewed every individual syntactic label.
Use the labels to find and compare material; evaluate important examples in context.
Advanced/QA panels
If the application exposes consensus, triage, source-comparison, audit or other research-maintenance panels, ordinary students do not need to use them for normal grammatical study. They are advanced research/quality-control tools.

- Grammatical Concordance ይክፈቱ።
- መጀመሪያ የሚያጠኑትን አንድ የሰዋሰው ጥያቄ ይወስኑ፤ ለምሳሌ Genitive፣ የግስ tense/mood/voice ወይም syntactic role።
- ያሉትን morphology፣ grammar፣ book/reference፣ lemma/form እና ሌሎች filters በመጠቀም ውጤቱን ያጥቡ።
- Grammar & View የሚለው ካለ ለጥናትዎ የሚጠቅመውን view ይምረጡ።
- እያንዳንዱን ውጤት Reference → Greek form → Lemma → Morphology → Grammar/Syntax → Context በሚለው ቅደም ተከተል ይመልከቱ።
- አንድ ምሳሌ ብቻ ሳይሆን ብዙ ተመሳሳይ ምሳሌዎችን ያወዳድሩ።
- ጠቃሚ ጥቅሶችን በInterlinear ወይም በሙሉ የጥቅሱ አውድ ውስጥ ያንብቡ።
Source-supplied syntax የሚለው ሲታይ፣ የsyntax መረጃው ከምንጩ የመጣ structured research data መሆኑን ያስታውሱ። እያንዳንዱ label በGTM በተናጠል human-reviewed ነው ማለት አይደለም።
