26.6 Piel Imperfect Strong Paradigm
Piel Imperfect \(Pre =\) ּיְקַט and \(V_S = \bar E\) “Piēl - Paēl” - all the imperfect forms will sound like “Paēl”
| Sing | Paradigm | Plural | Paradigm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3ms | יְקַטֵּל | 3mp | יְקַטְּלוּ |
| 3fs | תְּקַטֵּל | 3fp | תְּקַטֵּ֫לְנָה |
| 2ms | תְּקַטֵּל | 2mp | תְּקַטְּלוּ |
| 2fs | תְּקַטְּלִי | 2fp | תְּקַטֵּ֫לְנָה |
| 1cs | אֲקַטֵּל | 1cp | נְקַטֵּל |
- Piel Imperfect is consistent: יְקַטֵּל
- Remember \(V_1 = A\) in all non-Perfect forms
- \(V_P = ə\) (Vocal Sheva) - DI1cs will take \(V_P = \breve A\) (Hateph Patach)
- Compare to Qal Imperfect \(Pre\) of Hireq+Sheva+Holem
- Again, note the Dagesh Forte in \(R_2\)
