(e) In all those pemm of Pd and Jlphl which ter-
minate in the third radical, , .. is dropped before suffixes
which have a union vowel. The same takes place, (on

tbs sufiix. This is most common in the Fut and Imp. ; rare in the
Praet. (ex. Ps. 16: 7. Isa 63 9. Gen. 6: 2. Jud. 13: 23. 2 K. 20: 13);
and dl leas frequent in the Inf. (Prov. 22: 21. Sol. 5. 6: 11.)

Q 17. Irregular Verbr generally.
1. Of these there are, as in Hebrew, two general di-
Pisions, defective and quiescent. The irregularity generally
respects but one letter. Verbs which exhibit irregularity
in two of their radicals are called doubly momalaq § 24.
2 The fir$. general division comprehends two classes,
riz 76, and 33 ; the second, four, viz. h, {D (b),
DXiP (%),
and &. The last include also such verbs as in Hebrew
belong to the class s3 ,
Note. The divisiop of irregular verbs into defective and picscat,
not of special importance, and is neglected by the moet recent gramma-
rime.
Q 18. Verbs Pe Nun.
The irregularity in these verbs results from the same
cause, and is almost throughout the same an in Hebrew.
