Dear members,

With the following understanding that: "The hitpael stem is of often the
reflexive of piel, and sometimes a replacement for qal" and that as
Gesenius says: "Hitpael expresses to make oneself that which is predicated
by the stem". Does anyone have any comments about this verb's exclusivity
to the Hitpael stem?
