31.2 Hiphil 1-Guttural

  • Hiphil 1G \(V_1\) takes Hateph vowel; this means \(V_P\) is affected by the Rule of Sheva
  • The same thing occurs in the Qal Imperfect
  • Therefore, the \(Pre\) for the Hiphil imperfect and the Qal Imperfect will be identical: יֶעֱ or יַעֲ
  • But (good news!), Hiphil has \(V_S = \hat I\) which never reduces, so this is how we can distinguish
    • יַעֲמִיד is HI3ms because \(V_S = \hat I\), which is diagnostic of Hiphil
    • יַעֲמֹד is QI3ms because \(V_S = O\), which is diagnostic of Qal Imperfect
