Stem Poal

Summary

The Poal is a rare stem formation that is similar to the Pual. It expresses the passive voice of the Poel stem.

Article

The Poal stem is a variation of the Pual and expresses the passive voice of the verbal action of the Poel. The Poal stem is formed from the Pual by a vowel change. It is an extremely 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 Poal stem appears exactly the same as the Poel stem in all conjugations; only the 3rd-person masculine singular forms are different.
