LexFCS queries

query= Comment Status
ḥm
𓇋𓏠𓈖		 Simple query, without explicit type;
equivalent to simple lemma form query
('lemma=ḥm', 'lemma=𓇋𓏠𓈖'), see below.		 ✓
lemma=ḥm
lemma=𓇋𓏠𓈖		 Search for lemma form (lemma=);
transliteration in Leiden Unified Transliteration, case insensitive)
or hieroglyphs in Unicode (without control characters).		 ✓
lemma=ꞽmn*
lemma=𓁶𓊪*		 Search for lemma form with wildcard "*":
any amount of any characters (including none).		 ✓
lemma=?mn
lemma=?𓏠𓈖𓏏		 Search for lemma form with wildcard "?":
any (single) character.		 ✓
pos=NOUN Search by Universal Dependencies Part of Speech (pos=): UD POS. ✓
pos=root Search by TLA Part of Speech: TLA main POS. ✓
gender=f Search by nominal gender (gender=): "m" or "f" (lower case).
(Note: For names, epithets, and titles, TLA has no gender encoded.)		 ✓
translation=house Search for translation (translation=). ✓

translation=/lang=eng house		 Search for translation in a specified language (/lang=):
eng, deu, fra, or ara.		 ✕
translation="house Amun" Search for two terms in translation (sequence is not relevant);
equivalent to query 'translation="Amun" AND translation="house"'.		 ✓
baseform=mn Search for lemma root (baseform=);
transliteration in LUT only, no hieroglyphs).		 ✓
entryId=600156 Search by TLA lemma ID (entryId=). ✓
lemma=ḥm OR lemma=ḥm.t
lemma=𓏠𓈖 OR lemma=𓏠𓈖𓏛		 Boolean OR (upper case). ✓
lemma=ꞽmn AND pos=VERB Boolean AND (Note: AND has no precedence over OR;
according to the general FCS specifications).		 ✓
lemma=ꞽmn NOT pos=VERB Boolean NOT logically corresponds to (non-existent) AND NOT
(Note: NOT has no precedence over AND or OR).		 ✓
(Yet to be implemented:)
ḥm OR ḥm.t
ꞽmn AND pos=VERB		 Currently, no terms without type (see above) with Boolean OR or AND.
Types are always required.		 ✕
