Prompt: What are VP and VS for Biconsonantal verbs in the QI?

• VS = Use lexical vowel ( י ִ  or וֹ or וּ)
Caution: Sometimes VS is defective:  י ִ →  ִ and  וּ → ֻ

Prompt: What is the significant change to 1Yod verbs in the QI?
Answer: The 1 Yod consonant is always lost in the QI
E.g.,  יֵשֵׁב or  יִירַשׁ
• VP =  Tsere or the vowel Hireq+Yod, (not the consonant Yod)

Prompt: In which way does a 1 נ verb change in the QI?  What is the unusual (but welcome) exception?
Answer: 1 נ assimilates to Dagesh Forte in R2
The 1 נ remains (no assimilation) if R2= 2G/ר
