II. Verbs whose First Radical is Yod.

1. The verbs so denominated may be comprised in three classes, two of which are founded on a difference of origin, the third merely on a peculiar mode of inflection. They are as follows:

[ocr errors]

(1) Such as have originally a Vav for their first radical; as 737-737.

(2) Such as have their first radical properly Yod; as

(3) Such as have their first radical assimilated in the Fut. &c., like verbs Pe Nun, § 66; thus from Pret. Kal. n the Fut. ny (n) loses its radical (") and retains only (") preformative, with Dagesh compensative in the next letter.

§ 70. Verbs Yod-1st Class,

(Originally Pe Vav.)

1. The peculiarities of this class are as follows:

--

(a) The Future in very many verbs has final e (..), in which case the first Yod quiesces in Tseri, but falls out at the same time,

[ocr errors][ocr errors]

(b) The Tseri termination occurs also in the Inf. Const. and Imp., and then the initial () drops away by apheresis; as Inf.

[ocr errors][subsumed]

but in these conjugations it will be observed that it is quiescent except in the Inf., Fut. and Imp. of Niphal, where it is moveable; as

NOTE. This original Vav also often discloses itself in derivative Nouns, especially such as begin with the formative letters or ;

and יָלַד from) וָזַר and וָלָד but ; (יָרָה and יָרַד from) תּוֹרָה מוֹרָד as

) are less frequent.

REMARKS.

§ 71. KAL.

1. FUTURE. The twofold termination of Tseri and Pattah obtains here, as and; the latter of course uniformly before the Gutturals. The removal of the tone shortens Tseri into Segol,

3. IMPERATIVE. Several verbs here have Pattah, as 1, 2, py, (Kamets on account of accent). Where the Fut. is Tseri the Imp. usually takes a paragogic ♬, as (1), 77. When the tone is brought back to the penult, the Tseri is restored, as From we have both ( parag.) and . with apo cope of (3) occurs Ruth 1. 11; 77 makes Imper. 2 pers. pl. instead of to distinguish from Fut. 3d. pers. pl. 877.

2. INFINITIVE. The final vowel is sometimes Tseri, following the apocopate form of the future. Occasionally Yod is inserted with the Tseri, as in Is. 59. 4.

and N.

1. This conjugation, like Piel, is regular. The only exceptions worthy of notice are, that it sometimes retains the original Vav, which it uses as moveable instead of Yod, as instead of 777 Lev. 5. 5; instead of n Mic. 6. 2.

§ 76. Verbs Yod-2d Class.

(Originally Pe Yod.)

1. The flexion of this class is marked by the following peculiarities; viz. (a) The Fut. of Kal presents a threefold variety of form; as, 1977, and 97. Retraction of the tone as usual changes Tseri into Segol, as . (b) In Hiphil the original Yod

הֵינִיק הֵילִין הֵיטִיב remains and quiesces in Tseri, as

.

2. Niphal, in verbs of this class, does not occur. The Dageshed conjugations are regular throughout; as Piel, Pual, Hith. . Hophal conforms to the model in the preceding class, Hiphil alone therefore distinguishes this class from the first class of verbs Pe Yod. For this reason only Kal and Hiphil are given in full.

3. In the Pret. of Hiph. the form is often written defectively, as , instead of,. In the Fut. of Hiph. a moveable Yod instead of Yod quiescent sometimes appears, as Prov. 3. 25, anomalous; viz.

138. 6, Fut. of Kal.

Hos. 7. 2. The following forms are altogether

Job 24. 21, Is. 15. 2, as also Ps.
