both occur.
N. B. The shortened Put. has the form t~" as wipl that he may take
away Ex. x. 17., After Vav conversive the tone is drawn back upon the
penultima, as tel; V and he -scattered., The final syllable when it has
aguttural or Resh takes Pattach, as in Kal, e. g. 11" and he removed
Gen. -viii. 13.
V. In General.
8. On account of the intimate relation between verbs I1T and V$, it is
necessary, in analyzing forms, to note particularly the points in which these
classes differ. Several forms are exactly the same in both, e. g. Fitt. Kal
with Vav conversive; Pilel of 1.V and Poil ofr.' Hence it is that they
often borrow forms from one another, as in Kal I M he despised (Pret. of
V11as if from 112 Zech. iv. 10, MDt he besineared (for MD) Is. xliv. 18.
9. In common with verbs ~~5 (~ 66, 5), those of this class have in Niphal
and Hiphil the Chaldee and Rabbinic punctuation, which substitutes for
the long vowel under the preformatives, a short one followed by Daghesh
forte. This form and the common one are often both in use. E. g. rlior
to incite, Put. rlt (also n"W, InO"; Tr and he -shows the way'2 Sam.
xxii. 33 (and 'Il Prov. xii. 26); sometimes with a difference of signification, as MI~: to cause to rest, to give, rest, M~ — Fat. rl5 to set down, to lay
down; y'~" to spend the night, to abide; 1' V'M, 'M to be headstrong, rebellious. Other examples: Miph. bin: (from tntb)toecium
cised Gen. xvii. 26, 27; xxxiv. 22, with a gouttural 'fiYe Zech. ii. 17; Hiph.
~'ll to despise Lam. i. 8, 'V~Prov. iv. 21.
Here belong some forms of verbs Pe guttural with Daghesh forte implicitum, which have generally been derived from a false root, or been
uncritically altered; viz. 1trln for WrZil~ and she hastens (from Witm) Job
xxxi. 5, U311, Wn 1 Sam. xv. 19; xxv. 14, from WV WIV to rush upon.
10. Verbs whose middle stem-letter is Vav moveable (i. e. sounded as a
consonant) are, in respect to this letter, perfectly regular. E. g. '11 to be
white, Fut. 11M M. to expire, Fut. WV'; particularly all verbs that are
also ri as 111 Piel MI- to command, 114 to wait, &c.

1. These verbs have the same structure as verbs ~., and
their " is treated in the same manner as the '1 of that class. E. g.
