Sample Questions

Q1. 1 הוֹדַע ▶ Answer

A: Conj: Perfect  |  Root: ידע  |  PGN: 3ms  |  Trans: he made known / revealed (Dan. 2:23: הוֹדַעְתַּנִי "you made known to me"; הַ + I-yod יְ → הוֹ- contraction; Haphel causative of "to know" = "to make known")

Q2. 2 הַקִּים ▶ Answer

A: Conj: Perfect  |  Root: קום  |  PGN: 3ms  |  Trans: he set up / established (Dan. 3:1: "he set it up in the plain of Dura"; hollow root II-waw קום; הַ- prefix + contracted stem → הַקִּים; dagesh in מ is compensatory from hollow root contraction, not D-stem doubling)

Q3. 3 הֵיתִיוּ ▶ Answer

A: Conj: Perfect  |  Root: יתי/אתה  |  PGN: 3mp  |  Trans: they brought (Dan. 5:2: "bring the golden vessels"; Haphel of "to come" = "to bring / cause to come"; base stem הֵיתִי + וּ 3mp suffix; memorize הֵיתִי as the Haphel 3ms perfect of this root)
