Full Screen (Interactive) Print / PDF Markdown

BBH Chapter 25 · Niphal Weak Verbs

A 24-item drill mixing Qal and Niphal forms of weak roots, interleaved Q/N/Q/N. Students identify stem (Qal or Niphal), conjugation, PGN, and root for each form. Covers Perfect, Imperfect, Wayyiqtol, Imperative, Inf. Absolute, and Participle using the III-ה root גלה (with ראה for the perfect section), the I-נ root נפל, and the hollow root שׁוב. The minimal-pair contrasts between Qal and Niphal for weak roots are emphasized (e.g., יִגְלֶה vs. יִגָּלֶה; יִפֹּל vs. יִפָּל; וַיִּגֶּל vs. וַיִּגָּל).
