Thanks!,
 
I will check these books out. I guess somwhere along the line, I passed the  
line where intermediate level reference books are understandable to me, and  
didn't realize it :-)

It sounds like you would  appreciate Bill Mounce's The Morphology of Biblical
Greek (Zondervan,  1994). For first declension nouns (n-1), he has 
A: hWRA
B: GRAFH
C:  DOXA
D: NEANIAS
E: SATANAS
F: PROFHTHS
G: MANASSHS
H: MNA,  SUKEA, ERMEA
Mounce lists all the nouns in the GNT that fall into each  category, but
without a frequency count.

Bob Funk's A  Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek has an
appendix, "The  Nominal System: Catalogue." For first declension nouns, he
gave four  categories:
1. hWRA, GRAFH
2. DOXA
3. PROFHTHS
4. SATANAS,  MANASSHS
Funk listed all the nouns occurring ten times or more in the GNT  in each
category.
