27.6 Piel Weak What to Memorize

• 3-ה verb endings in all stems
• 2-G/2-ר verbs lack the Dagesh in $R_2$ - may have Compensatory Lengthening
• 1-נ verbs in DP = NP (except for 3ms)
• The mnemonic, pôlēl, to remind you of Biconsonantal or Gemininate vowel patterns

For most weak verbs, the strong diagnostics of the Piel are retained:

1. Dagesh Forte in $R_2$
2. “Piel-Pael” ($V_1 = I$ in the Perfect, and $V_1 = A$ everywhere else)
3. $V_P = \ :$ where applicable (Imperfect and Participle)
