 verb, as in Greek, aor. , fut. , and in Latin fero, tuli, latum, ferre, &c., but with this difference, that in Hebrew the roots of these verbs are almost always closely related.

The most common verbs of this kind are—

.  (inferred from ), but also,  as if from , on the analogy of verbs ; also in  the  requires , where the  has  from.

. ; but. and  from  (but cf.  ).

.  (from ).

, only in the imperf. ; for the, the  is used (from ).

.  (from ). . .   (from ). Pôlēl (from ). . . Also.

( in post-biblical Hebrew, in Aramaic and Arabic) to place, whence (possibly)  and Hiph‛îl  (see above, § 71); but.

, used in ; but in Hiph., from a  which is not used in Hebrew.

On  to go, see above,.

Rem. 1. To the same category belong also, to a certain extent, those cases where the tenses or moods not in use in one conjugation, are supplied by forms having the same meaning in other conjugations of the same verb. Thus:

. The (but cf., note) and , unused in , are supplied by the  ,  (on  as , see , cf. also ).

. from,  from.

, unused in ''perf. Qal'', instead of which  is used; but ,  , and   from  only are in use.

. usually  in, so  , but  and  always in.

.  with , but the  and  are not in use.

2. The early grammarians often speak of mixed forms (formae mixtae), i.e. forms which unite the supposed character and meaning of two different tenses, genders, or conjugations. Most of the examples adduced are at once set aside by accurate grammatical analysis; some others appear to have arisen from misapprehension and inaccuracy, especially from erroneous views of unusual forms. Others, again, are either merely wrong readings or represent an intentional conflation of two different readings.
