Step back

Last night I took Harper's "Elements of Hebrew by an Inductive Method" to bed and noticed in his discussion of verbs on page 68 that he lists the Qal perfect 3ms for the root I used yesterday. The root actually is in the form of the infinitive construct.

Sooooo.....

I have corrected yesterday's post. I'll try to be more careful in the future.
