From the viewpoint of form, there is a verbal form, not a noun.

In my list of about 9,000 patterns, I found none that being the sum of prefix TW- + two root consonants is a noun. And I say this of both prefixes TW- and T + qubbuts.

This said, this pattern TW + two root consonants can be:

 

1. From verbs p"y, as Karl suggests  ------  see Gn 15:15; Am 7:10; Ps 45:15

2. From verbs ayin"waw (or ayin"yod), as lexicons say of twraq in Song 1:3 -------- see 2K 11:15

3. From verbs ayin"ayin (doubled), as David Kolinsky suggests -------- I found no sample in the Tanakh.

 

Then, the context and the sense must decide which is the precise root TWRQ comes from.

Song 1:3 seems to be a rare construction: shemen twraq shimkha... 

But, Karl, this is certainly not a noun. If the pattern [TW + 2 root consonants] exists in Hebrew as a noun pattern... I surely would have found it.

Karl,
I believe it to be huphal from רקק meaning 'fully poured out."

Subject: [b-hebrew] Song of Songs 1:3 TWRQ

Dear Members:

While analyzing Song of Songs 1:3, it appears that TWRQ is a noun, from the verb YRQ “to drip, ooze”, is it?

Dictionaries and concordances list it as a verb from the root RYQ “to empty out”.

What do you all think, and am I making a stupid mistake like last time?

Karl W. Randolph.
