Consolidating the PerfectB. The First Syllable . . . In all of
the derived stems, the first syllable is a closed, unaccented
syllable with a normal short vowel.This is achieved via a stem
prefix or the doubling of the second radical.Thus, the first
syllable is consistantly the same in all of the derived
stems.Moreover, you can you can rely upon the stem name for the
voweling of the initial syllable.EXCEPTION: Qal 2nd Plurals where
the first syllable is a vocalic sheva.
Consolidating the PerfectC. The Pink Patach ZoneIn all first and
second person forms there is a patach under the second radical.The
Pink Patach Zone meets The Pink Panther playing his Saxophone.

under the second radical. EXCEPTION: Hiphil

No sufformative most Consonantal suf. 3FP-2FPOnly in Niphal and
Hiphil do forms with consonantal sufformatives follow a different
voweling pattern than those without any sufformative2. Vocalic
sufform. 2FS-3MP-2MP B. Inflecting the ImperfectMemorize the
imperfect stem names
Consolidating the ImperfectC. Imperfect Voweling in
GeneralHithpael, Hophal, Huphal. The imperfect voweling for these
stems is identical to their perfect voweling and so the stem name
can be relied upon for their voweling in all forms except those
with a vocalic sufformatives.
Consolidating the ImperfectC. Imperfect Voweling in GeneralPual
The imperfect voweling for the Pual is also identical to its
perfect voweling; you just need to add a vocalic sheva under the
preformative.Piel Like the Pual, the Piel takes a vocalic sheva
under the imperfect preformative, the rest of the voweling follows
the pattern Pael as in Hithpael.
