I suppose then a classic example of what you are saying is found in
the verb רום where the qal is usually: lift up, lift oneself up,
become high, exalt, but the hiphil is: lift up, elevate, exalt,
increase ones own power. The nuance is there I suppose but I
certainly see little difference between the two except that the
hiphil might appear More assertive? more referring to raising
yourself louder, noisier, higher? (but then I would have expected
the latter to be in a piel? Please forgive my obvious lack of
insight, but knowing the grammatical descriptions/theories and
categories and then understanding the practical realities of
translation are two different skills, the latter I am just beginning
to learn.
