Concordance Search

A Keyword-in-Context (KWIC) search that shows the words recurring before and after a keyword across the corpus, so you can spot phrasing patterns yourself.

Quick Keywords:
zilaθ (Magistrate Title)
clan (Son)
mi (I (ownership))
turce (Dedicated)

How it Works

Concordance (or Keyword-In-Context) is a standard linguistic tool that aligns every occurrence of a word across the corpus on the target token, so the words that precede and follow it can be read off directly.

By searching for "clan" (son), you can see the names that typically follow it. Keyword-in-context is a standard way to surface recurring structure in a corpus without a dictionary.

Developer API

The Concordance engine uses a trie-based n-gram index to extract the padded left and right fragments for a query word.

GET /api/v1/corpus/concordance
?q=zilaθ
{
  "total": 52,
  "rows": [
    "left": "larθ",
    "keyword": "zilaθ",
    "right": "tarxies"
