27.1 Third Guttural (all variants)

  • All third guttural verbs will change the Stem Vowel

In the Piel, we can determine the Stem by the \(Pre\) and sufformatives, so we can effectively ignore what happens to the \(V_S\)

  • You do not need to memorize the \(V_S\) formulas below; just understand that the vowels change with these weak letters

  • Strong - \(V_S = \bar E[A] \sim \bar E\)

  • 3-ע/ח - \(V_S = A \sim A\)

  • 3-א - \(V_S = \bar E \sim \bar E(A)\)

  • 3-ה - The same as 3-ה in other stems:
