BTW have you tried the twot?
My Gesenius also does all of that including listing all of the Binyanim usages with sample texts, plus rendering many of the words in Arabic, Syriac, German, and a bunch more. Even so, if the full version of the BDB (which I ordered) makes needed corrections (additions), then the few bucks are a good investment for language accuracy. With shipping it cost me $21.79.

No, I have not gone to the TWOT. Wish I could afford it! <whimper> Just too expensive! Of course, I will gladly accept it as a gift! Hint - Hint!
