I asked if the hiphil form of the verb shin het tav (to destroy) could also 
be used as "to cause to destroy" since hiphil is causative. I think there are 
some verbs that are in hiphil and are used as causatives and as regular verbs 
like the verb spelled yud bet shin in hiphil it means "to become dry" and "to 
make dry." The verb bet yud nun in hiphil it means "to understand " and "to 
cause to understand". The verb yud lamed dalet in hiphil is "to cause to 
beget" and "to beget". I can't really check each verb's use in quotes, but I 
saw these words in a dictionary, so I am assuming these definitions are right.
