Hallo Karl, I am sorry but I am even more confused. In even-shoshan and
Davidson the root for this verb 'cholalti' is given as Chet-vav-lamed, which
did also surprise me. I do not see that the root chet-lamed-lamed' as you
suggest how it follows? Maybe I am mis-reading your root? But all the
books are pointing to the chet vav lamed root, as I said this also surprises
me.
Regards
Chris.
