Stem Poel

Summary

The Poel is a rare stem formation that is similar to the Piel and expresses the same range of meanings.

Article

The Poel stem is a variation of the Piel and has potential to express the same range of verbal action. The Poel stem is formed from the Piel by a vowel change and 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.
