24.9 Niphal Participle Strong

In the Participle, the נ of the Niphal is WRITTEN

Sing Paradigm Plural Paradigm
ms נִקְטָל mp נִקְטָלִים
fs נִקְטֶ֫לֶת fp נִקְטָלוֹת
  • Note \(V_S = \bar A\), which is the lengthened \(V_S\) of NP3ms

Derived Stem Participle \(V_S =\) the P3ms Vowel, lengthened if possible (usually)

  • In Niphal, the Perfect 3ms \(V_S = A\) - using the above rule, the Niphal Participle \(V_S = \bar A\)
  • For the Piel, the Perfect 3ms \(V_S = \bar E\). Since \(\bar E\) is already long, the Piel Participle is also \(\bar E\)

Three Exceptions:

  • QPt = \(\bar E\)
  • QPp = \(\bar U\)
  • The Alternate FS “T-form” = נִקְטֶ֫לֶת
