28.2 Parsing Clues - \(V_1 = U\) - ALWAYS for strong verbs

• The Pual is very consistent, making it easily recognizable
  • \(V_1 = U\) - ALWAYS for strong verbs
• The Pual retains the Dagesh Forte in \(R_2\)
• \(V_S = A\) - ALWAYS for strong verbs (unless reduced by the Sheva of the Perfect Sufformative)
  • I.e. \(V_S = A \sim A\)

• Perfect: \(Pre =\) קֻטַּ
• Imperfect: \(Pre =\) ַיְקֻטַּ

• Participle: \(Pre =\) מְקֻטָּ
