OK, here is a simple one for someone who doesn't mind a 
simple one.  If you have a strong verb like ShMR, the 3rd 
person masculine singular is shamar (qamets & pathah).  The 
2nd person masucline singular shemor (shewa & holem), as is 
the qal infinive construct.

Now assuming that I got all of that correct, the only 
difference I can see between the construct and the qal 
infinitive absolute is that that latter has a holem vav 
rather than just a holem.  If that is right then it would 
be pronounced just like the qal infinitive construct and 2 
ms imperative. This seems to be the case for at least some 
of the weak verbs. Is that right?
