Paradigmatic
(requires Mac OS X 10.4 or greater)
Paradigmatic is a paradigm/grammar tool for learning Biblical Hebrew and New Testament (Koine) Greek verb forms. Any student of these Biblical languages should find this program useful. I’m assuming a certain level of knowledge of Greek and/or Hebrew – it won’t teach you fundamental grammar or syntax – but it will help you drill in and learn what you already know.
More info about the program, a FAQ, and a current download can be found at the Paradigmatic site.

Functionality now includes a full set of Greek paradigm data, in addition to the Hebrew tables. This includes the ability to view a given paradigm, edit paradigm entries (and add/remove whole paradigms), and a parsing tool to test recognition. Additional tables relating to noun declension, pronominal suffixes, and verb patterns are also available.
The Hebrew paradigm data available in the program includes the following:
- Strong Paradigms
- I-Aleph, I-Guttural
- I-Nun
- I-Waw, I-Yodh
- II-Guttural
- III-Aleph, III-Guttural
- III-He
- Hollow Verbs, including polel/polal/hithpolel
- Geminates
- ‘Special’ roots: ??? and ???
The Greek paradigm data available includes:
- Strong Paradigm (???)
- Contract verbs (?-, ?-, ?-contract)
- Principal parts of irregular verbs
- -?? verbs
Note that Paradigmatic is a universal Binary.

Finally, I’ve spent a fair bit of time working on this program, and I’m happy to provide it free of charge. If, however, you would like to support the ongoing work of developing, testing, and supporting Paradigmatic, please make a small donation by clicking on the PayPal button below.
