Stem Polel¶
Summary¶
The Polel is a rare stem formation that is similar to the Piel and expresses the same range of meanings.
Article¶
The Polel stem is a variation of the Piel and has potential to express the same range of verbal action. The Polel stem is formed from the Piel stem by dropping the 2nd radical and repeating the 3rd radical (with a vowel change). It is a rare stem formation in Biblical Hebrew.
Note
It is recommended to always check a dictionary or lexicon for the meaning of a specific verb, because this stem may express many different kinds of action in different contexts.
Warning
The Polel stem appears exactly the same as the Polal stem in all conjugations; only the 3rd-person masculine singular forms are different.
