Description
Summary:This article seeks to explain the development of the Biblical Hebrew Qal feminine singular active participle's curious combination of grammatical forms. Beginning with the distribution of the feminine morphemes -t and -ââ on participle's grammatical states, it is argued that one participle existed at the Proto-Hebrew stage. This leads to the contention that a secondary form developed from the original form, before the original was influenced by qeṭel nouns and word final -elet through analogy.
