grep question

Hi everyone,

i am german, so excuse my bad english.
i got a problem with the grep-command.
i got a file with a lot of entries and i want to grep some of them out into another file.

here is a part of the file:
Code:
1038194    ξΟΥ΢ΙΝ & δΕ΢ΞΗΑΜΠ΢, βξη 10, 1886, 486, ΝΟ.
1038195    1;
1038196    λΟΕΩΨ, μδαἱἀ 11, 1886, 202, ΝΟ.
1038197    1;
1038198    ϜΑΝ γΕΛΔΕΡ, μΝΕΜΟ΢ΨΝΕ 24, 1896, 195, ΝΟ.
1038199    20;
1038200    Σγδι 4275;
1038201    ϜΑΝ γΕΛΔΕΡ, γΕ΢ΞΗΙΞΗΤΕ 443, ΝΟ.
1038202    21;
1038203    ρΟΒΕΡΤ, έΤ.
1038204    ΑΝΑΤ.
1038205    563.
1038206    8t 92.
1038207    ηΟΝΟΡΑΡΨ ΙΝ΢ΞΡΙΠΤΙΟΝ ΦΟΡ δΙΟΝΨ΢ΙΟ΢ αΝΤΑΓΟΡΑ ΟΦ ρΗΟΔΕ΢ ΒΨ ΔΑΥΓΗΤΕΡ μΕΝΕ΢ΤΡΑΤΕ δΙΟΝΨ΢ΙΟΥ ΟΦ ρΗΟΔΕ΢ ΕΤ ΑΛ.
1038208    , ΟΝ ΢ΤΑΤΥΕ-ΒΑ΢Ε;
1038209    ιι/ι;
1038210    ΦΟΥΝΔ ΑΤ μΟΒΟΛΛΑ:
1038211    ϕΕΛΛΟΩ΢, δΙ΢ΞΟϜΕΡΙΕ΢, γΕΡΜΑΝ ΤΡΑΝ΢ΛΑΤΙΟΝ 223 (ΝΟΝ ϜΙΔΙ);
1038212    ᾃΑΝ γΕΛΔΕΡ, μΝΕΜΟ΢ΨΝΕ 24, 1896, 196, ΝΟ.
1038213    22;
1038214    ϜΑΝ γΕΛΔΕΡ, γΕ΢ΞΗΙΞΗΤΕ 444, ΝΟ.
1038215    23.
1038216    6t 93.
1038217    ηΟΝΟΡΑΡΨ (?)
1038218    ΙΝ΢ΞΡΙΠΤΙΟΝ ΦΟΡ (?)

so, there is always a Integer-number at first, then a tabulator and after that is either a single word or a multi-word-unit.
now, what i want to do is grep ALL rows containing only MWU out.
rows with only 1 word should be ignored.

finally i want a new file that contains only the rows with MWUs.

can somebody help me?

thanks

Am giving it as multiple commands as a hint.
This could be done in one single command.

To find out all the MWU's
Code:
grep <pattern> file

To ignore just 1 word in the file
Code:
awk -F" " 'NF > 1 { print }' filename

Try:
Code:
grep " " infile
