Hello folks!

I know that some of you have gathered by now that I am an amateur so I am
thankful that you all find time to condescend to the most basic questions
that I put forward on this site. Your patience is appreciated for such
unchallenging questions.

OK Can someone explain the phenomenen why in Hebrew the following
construction is employed?

'PaKoD' before the actual verb proper in many instances (Gen 50:24 and
25, Ex 3:16 given for referece) and such as in 1 Sam 20:6 the verb
'NiSHoL' before 'NiSHAL')

Thankyou.
