Using GRAMCORD for Windows there were only three options listed for META in 
the context of 1 Tim 4:14, listed below:

89.108: META {a} : a marker of an associative relation, usually with the 
implication of being in the company of - `with, in the company of, together 
with.' {Footnote 8859}
89.109: META {b} : a marker of association, involving instruments relevant 
to an event - `with, having.'
89.123: META {c} : a marker of a relation in which one thing is combined 
with another - `with, combined with.'

Which left out (and maybe more);

89.78: META {k} : a marker of means, with the probable additional 
implication of attendant circumstance (see META {d} `with,' 89.79)
89.79: META {d} : a marker of circumstances which contribute significantly 
to the context of the principal event - `with, in.' {Footnote 8852}

Does anybody know why other Louw & Nida articles on META did not show up in 
the context of 1 Tim 4:14?  Or how I can find all occurrences of any given 
term using GRAMCORD for Windows?  Using Greek Word Main Index  19000/Greek 
Word Index - M  14099 there were again only the following listings:
META a with (association) 89.108  6260
     b with (accompanying object) 89.109  6261
     c with (combinative) 89.123  6275

Thank you for any assistance.
