This exercise presents fourteen underlined verbs drawn from Daniel and Ezra. For each verb, students identify the stem (Peal, Peil, Ithpeel, Pael, Ithpaal, Haphel, Hophal, Shaph'el, or Ithhaph'al), isolate the three-letter root, and give an English gloss. The drill uses only vocabulary verbs introduced in Chapter 12 or previously known forms; no paradigm knowledge beyond the diagnostic markers in BBA §12 is required.
