Negating Element Items
An aspect of an element definition can be negated in two ways.
- By using the NOT palette item.
- This item negates the entire element item.
- It is not usually placed over the first (or top) item in a column.
- By selecting NOT in the Tag details dialog box, or by typing a minus sign (-) before the tag. This negates a specific part of speech item.

This construct finds any word whose lexical root is גדל (great, grow), as long as it is not a participle. Verb forms that are not participles are included in the search results, as are nouns and adjectives. |
