Additional observations for discovering the Root.
1. It usually happens that when the Praeformative letter of a verb has the vowel Tsaree ( ֵ ) under it, the letter י (seldom ה) has been dropped; as [blank] from [blank] from [blank] [blank] from [blank]
2. When the Praeformative has a Kaumets (ָ ) under it, ו or the doubled radical has been dropped; as [blank] from [blank] from [blank]
3. When a Dagesh follows the Praeformative, נ has been dropped; (but see § 30.)
5

TEXT: “§ 30” refers to a section in Joshua Seixas’s Manual Hebrew Grammar for the Use of Beginners; that section is not reproduced in the supplement or this worksheet.


4. In other cases, the radical ה has been dropped.
Note 1. In a very few cases a Dagesh shows a [blank] dropped.
Note 2. A Dagesh in the first sometimes in the second radical frequently shows the absence of the doubled radical; as [blank] and [blank] from [blank] from [blank]
Note 3. A few verbs whose second and third radicals are alike, have a Tsaree under the Praeformative; as [blank] from [blank]
N. B. The verbs [blank] etc. come from [blank]
Note 4. Verbs beginning with [blank] [blank] or, [blank] are verbs whose first radical is [blank] See § 51.
6

TEXT: “§ 51” refers to a section in Joshua Seixas’s Manual Hebrew Grammar for the Use of Beginners; that section is not reproduced in the supplement or this worksheet.


Note 5. Some roots lose their [blank] at the beginning; and some lose their [blank] at the end; as [blank] from [blank] from [blank] from [blank] from [blank] [p. 9]
