Karl, my collection of 9,000 patterns goes much beyond biblical Hebrew. It
takes into account the most complete and full lists of nouns, verbs and
others. So, since the pattern "hophal ayin-waw verbs + second person
singular pronoun" does not appear within this huge collection, is it not
rational to state that such a pattern does not exist in the Hebrew tongue?
