A spot of tea?

Last Friday as we began looking at Proverbs 1 we noted the ת at he end of a number of infinitive constructs. I spoke with Dr. Staats about this and he told me this is just the form of some of the weak infinitive constructs and that Weingreen talks about it.

I could not find the form in Weingreen, but in Kelley on pages 180-181 he talks about Pe Vav and Pe Yod verbs and Gutturals that take this form. Also in  Pratico's grammar on pages 236-239 he also indicates this as the form for the infinitive construct of these verbs.
