Dear Reinhard,

Perhaps it has something to do with its singular number and impersonal reference. The other words you mentioned, the adjectives, normally function as substantives in the plural or with reference to people.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard

can anyone explain me the traditional parsing of (alumenu Ps 90:8 as a
Qal passive participle? The verb does not have any Qal forms
at all, and, in my opinion, it seems to be much easier to explain it as
an adjective
like (acum "strong" or (arûm "clever".
