Chapter 32 — Pual Strong

Full Screen (Interactive) Print / PDF Markdown

A 20-item exercise reinforcing the core semantic relationship between the Piel and Pual stems: the Pual is always the passive of the Piel. For each Pual form, students supply (1) the Piel active meaning and (2) the Pual passive translation.

Forms cover all three Pual conjugations encountered at this stage: perfect (3ms, 3cp), imperfect (3ms), and participle (ms). Roots include both standard qibbuts-type forms and guttural-R2 forms where holem appears instead (e.g., בֹּרַךְ, גֹּרַשׁ).

Sample Questions

Q3. 3 בֹּרַךְ ברך Perfect 3ms
