| By going to Frequency -> Node forms, we can see all of the forms returned by our search, which is in this case just the two. Underneath **Filter**, we can click on “p” or “n” depending on whether we want a positive filter (we see only the results with the given form) or a negative filter (we see all the results but those with the selected form). This is useful with a larger number of node forms. | By going to Frequency -> Node forms, we can see all of the forms returned by our search, which is in this case just the two.

| When we select a positive filter for the variant //thine// we get a list of results containing this form. Frequency -> Custom -> Multilevel Frequency Distribution allows us to explore the words which most frequently follow //thine//.

| The list shows that thine is most often followed by a vowel, or a word beginning with <h>. This is most probably due to the fact that the initial <h> was often dropped, and this was not always reflected by the spelling. It is very plausible that what was in fact pronounced in these examples (//heart//, //hand//) was in fact a vowel. The form //thine// also frequently appears at the end of a clause or sentence, which is denoted by the presence of a comma or full stop (less often a semicolon). In these cases we speak of the possessive pronoun //The heav’ns are thine//, not the possessive adjective //I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand//. Once again we may use the positive/ negative filters to view the concordance view for the individual results, e.g. all cases of the phrase //thine eares//. | The list shows that thine is most often followed by a vowel, or a word beginning with <h>.
