Meanings:

  • Reflexive of the Piel - קדשׁ
    • Q - to be holy
    • D - to be sanctified
    • tD - to sanctify oneself
      • Because this is the most common use, the parsing code is tD - t because a Hitpael preformative always contains ת, and D because like the Piel, \(R_2\) takes a Doubling Dagesh Forte (if possible)

  • Iterative - הלך
