24.15 Stem Comparison Table

It’s now time to update your Stem Comparison Worksheet for Niphal

• Take note of the \(Pre\) patterns in red and the \(V_S\) in blue
  • When you are able work your way back to the \(Pre\) pattern of the Strong verb, it means you will correctly identify the stem and conjugation most of the time
  • The last column indicates the \(V_S\) pattern for perfects on the left, and imperfects on the right
    • Remember, FP imperfect forms take \(A\) (Patach) in the Niphal, the Pt \(V_S\) is the lengthened P3ms and the A \(V_S\) is usually \(\bar E\) (Tsere)
