16.9 QI Biconsonantal

Biconsonantals are somewhat easier than geminates to identify in the QI as they retain the Lexical Vowel, take \(V_P = \bar A\), and carry the usual Imperfect preformative/sufformatives

• \(V_P = \bar A\), as in: יָ
• \(V_S\) and accent move to \(R_1\)
• The Lexical Vowel REMAINS, though sometimes it is defective
  • Plene: יָקוּם
  • Defective: יָקֻם
