YS -- Yes, it is.
PP - Are you quite sure that the yod in YWCAR is a root consonant, namely 
the first consonant of the basic YFCAR?
I'm not.
Maybe you will ask: And why not?

In Lev 20:10 (YWMAT) and Isa 28:27 (YWDA$) we have to paralel or analogous 
verb forms (Huph'al imperfective, 3rd person singular) where initial YW is, 
to my sense, clearly a prefix and by no means belonging to the root. So, why 
would the yod/yud in YW of YWCAR be the same consonant we find in the basic 
YFCAR (Is 44:10)?

YS - What is a Schemary?
PP - It is a work that shows nearly eight thousand patterns ("schemes") of 
the Hebrew language in a very logical, simple, clear and understandable way.

Of these, nearly one thousand have already been uploaded on the net. The 
rest is being uploaded by steps, a little every day.

It offers both the pointed and unpointed script or the pattern and as many 
explanations as different functions every pattern has. All this, with 
examples -----taken from the biblical text (if there are some) or from 
non-biblical text----- so that the user may fully understand the pattern and 
its practical behaviour.

It is a quite unique work.

The URL of the Hebrew Schemary is www.oham.net.
