Greek Tag Code Tables
When you are working with a grammatically tagged text, you can use tag details as part of your search criteria. These parameters can be included in your search argument as part of a Construct tab (by dragging a part of speech palette item into an element column) or through the use of the Tags submenu (Search menu) from the search entry box.
This topic contains a comprehensive listing of all the valid settings for each of the parts of speech of the tagged Greek texts. It also shows the abbreviated form and tag code symbol for each of these options. The Tag display pop-up menus in the Parsing and Analysis Display dialog boxes let you view the full parsing information, the abbreviated forms, or the tag codes.
In some tagged texts certain parts of speech are not further classified. This is indicated in parentheses beside the part of speech in this appendix. When accessing the Tags submenu for these texts, the parts of speech will be entered directly in the Search Entry box.
The tag codes are made up of single letters and displayed in the same order as the full parsing information. Thus, an N in the tag code for an adjective means either neuter or nominative, depending on where it appears in the code. This Parsing tab has been set to display tag codes:
The first tag code in this picture, V3PPPI, shows that έγείρονται is a verb third person plural present passive indicative.
If a tag option is undefined, the space is filled with 0.
The following tables list the tags, abbreviations and tag codes for each part of speech. Not all the available tags are used in every text.

Many of the options for subclass can be used only with particular classes. The following chart (from the pronoun tag details dialog box) shows which subclasses are available with each class. The word after the number is the class; the subclasses available for each class are listed beneath it.
Note The first, second, and third person pronouns are classified as subclasses rather than person. Thus to specify a first person pronoun, select first from the subclass pop-up menu. You cannot specify agreement in person between a pronoun and a verb. |
Some Verb tag options are only available based on the settings for other tags. For example, the participle gender, number, and case can only be set when the mood is set to participle.
Note The participle number is a separate tag from the regular verb number. Thus to find all plural verbs search for [VERB plural] <OR> [VERB participle plural]. |
