George,

I have gone over the Hebrew bible many times over since childhood and  
have never encountered an instance where piel can be construed as  
implying an "intensive" or repetitive sense. If David has examples to  
the contrary I will be glad to consider them. The argument that  
"Greenberg claims so" is otherwise worthless.
He says "There are no infixed personal pronouns -- I've already  
demonstrated that". Did he demonstrate this? can he demonstrate this?  
Of course not.
I tend to agree with you that I should not argue with him any farther.
