Lesson 29 The Pual Stem - Weak

The distinctive \(V_1 = U\) is maintained in nearly all Pual weak forms. It helps that the Qibbuts is also quite unique visually!

It is only when \(R_2\) rejects the Dagesh Forte AND has Compensatory Lengthening that there is a potential ambiguity.

You will still need to know the general weak verb concepts, particularly 3-ה behavior, to make sure you get to the correct Pual conjugation.

Enjoy this very brief lesson!

LESSON ITINERARY
