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.

Isaac,
You still have not actually addressed David's questions. All you have done here is re-state your position. It seems to me that David's right, and you are either unwilling or unable to address the issues.
Is there anything new to say here?
