~91. PARADIGMS OF MASCULINE NOUNS.18

2 Sam. xvi. 13; laf constr. 10jZ5 and bIrin (comp. 'ic and nt j 83,
Nos. 10 and 11). Qamets is immutble in both syllables of T fr 05btmW
and VJ311 for 0,wq ~ 83, No.-6.
5. Parad. V. is properly a mere variation of the preceding:one. The final Tsere is treated like the final Qamets in Parad.
IV.,)except that in the constr. St. JP stands for 1~1 Some
nouns, however, take the segholate form (No. VI.) in th constr.
st.; e. g. I*t~ shoulder, constr. st. J~ 1 for PO-; Il wall, constr.
St. 'Il for be l thigh, constr. st. 1-01 for 1.'4 In afew
cases both forms occur, as 'Tt heavy, constr. st. 'MD Ex. iv. 10
and 11 Is. i. 4; ~V constr. st. ~V and 51V
The original form appears in Gen. xlix. 12, -~b Pe. xxxv. 14
where Maqqeph follows. Examples of the first sort are: bin"V T~,~
Some nouns of this form retain their Tsere in constr. 8t. plural; e. g.
Vt3", plur. constr. '=4 so also '1n irmD imt5 iu.
6. To Parad. VI. belongs the large class of nouns denominated &egholate forms (~ 83, No. 11). The chief peculiarity 'in
their inflexion is, that before suffixes and in the constr. st. of the
plural and dual, they resume their original monosyllabic, form
(comp. ~ 90, 2). The plur. absol. is derived not immediately
from the form ~,but from the kindred form (comp. ~ 83, Nos.
10, 11, and below, Nos. 4 and 6) ~,plur. V'U the Pattach
being changed to Q~amets because the syllable in' which it stands
becomes an open one.
These forms may be arranged in three classes, the first having A, the second E, the third 0, in the first syllable. The
Paradigm exhibits under a, b, c, derivatives of the regular verb;
under d, e, f, forms which have a guttural in the final syllable;
under gh derivatives from verbs V" and 4 n udri e
rivative from a verb ~. Compare ~ 84, IV. No. 11, V. No. 11.
REMARKS.
1. The form liTl (for 27, Rem. 2, c) exhibits the original A not
only before suffixes, as in I'Za but also in Pause (~ 29, 4), e. g. wi and
before He local (1 88, 1) as MIXt. In the Septuagint, also, the 1proper
names like INr' are uniformly written with A in the, first syllable.
3Aj~L, 'aq~if#.The-wor y6, with the article, is constantly written rlikIm
derivatives from verbs ~. also take Qamets for their first vowel, as b
The original monosyllabic form is seen in the word itts a tailetj. Many of
