Q 13. PAUTICIPLES ; PERSONAL IN~LECTION. 37
6. Ittcrphal. For this conjugation, which indeed ekrewirere is seldom
found, the biblical Chaldee constantly exhibits Hophal; e. g. Ez. 4: 15.
Dan. 4: 33. 7: 11. (with Qamets Hhateph w Sliureq).
Q 13. Persona2 infiction of the Participles.
1. The Participles of all the conjugations, in order to
supply the want of a Present tense, are, as in Hebrew,
constructed with the separate Personal Pronouns of the
first and second persons ; e. g. N2N 5U3 I kill. Beside
this mode, the Chaldee has one $culi& to itself, vir to
inflect the Participle by the addition of pronominal frag-
ments, thus forming in fact a new tense. The two Par-
ticiples Peal are, after this mode, inflected as follows.
First Participle. S e d Partin'pk.
Bing. Plur. Biog. Plur.
2. In the biblical Chaldee a kind of passive preterite
tense is in use, formed by appending the sufformatives of
the Praeter to the Part. Peil. It takes the place of Ith-
peel. '-,

Comp. Dan. 5: 27, 28, 30. 7: 4, 6, 11. Ezra 5: 14. That these are
not to be considered forms of Praeter Peal with , is plain, partly from
their passive signification, and partly from the fact that other forms of
the same are usually employed in the Praeter in an active sense.
