Yochanan,


Thanks for your email concerning the Piel, Pual roots.  When I chose the word 
qittel
for my example it was probably a bad one.  The word is used by some as an 
example for
verb charts.

My concern really had to do with the nature of the roots themselves. Bryan 
seems to
have gotten the jest of what I was asking.  It makes since that the hearer of 
the word
would associate a particular meaning with that particular root in a 
particular stem.

I understand that some roots are not used in all stems some are only found in 
one.  I
was trying to understand the stem system when a word shows up in the text in 
more than
one root.

Since qittel is not found in BH it did not have a meaning associated with it. 
 So I
should have found a different word on which to base my question.  Thanks for 
your
response

Shalom,

Bill Burks
