Hebrew Grammatical Constructions Documentation
Overview
The Hebrew Grammatical Constructions dataset provides Logos users with better access to grammatical constructions which are of interest to both the exegete and the grammarian. The goal of the project is to provide the user with a compilation of several grammatical constructions for the purpose of analysis. These sets of constructions should not be seen as a comprehensive set of all the grammatical constructions of interest, but each individual construction should be complete in that it should list every occurrence of that construction in the Hebrew Bible.

There are several sub-categories of weak verbs, each of which are annotated and searchable in this data set.” (source)
