I'm not familiar with this verb, so is it bet - holem vav - aleph? There's an open circle showing up with what looks like a holem over it, between the vav and the aleph.
I was actually confused as to what principle parts are in general. There weren't enough for all 7 stems, and that's something I never learned in Hebrew class - and I'm not that far yet in my teaching.
But, based on the vowel pointings and he prefixes, I'd say your hiphil and hophal are the most likely options.
Croy defines the principal parts as "the basic inflected forms of a verb from which all other forms can be derived." English verbs have 3 principal parts, Greek verbs 6. Not all verbs have all the parts.
Having said that, I am not sure how many principal parts Hebrew verbs have, but Harper in his "Hebrew Vocabulary" lists these parts for the verbs. So I am just listing the parts as he lists them.
Unfortunately he doesn't define the parts or the verbs with the forms declined so I am hoping that by doing this I will actually learn.

ReplyDeleteYes,
ReplyDeletebet-holem vav-aleph is correct.
I am learning how to type in Hebrew and had trouble getting the spacing correct on the holem vav.
you'll also note a lack of translation of all the principle parts.
Harper translates the initial word as "go in," but then the first part he shows appears to be the Qal perfect 3ms.
I'm guessing the other two are hiphal and hophal, but left blank because I just don't know...what's your guess?
