Finite Verbs with Suffixes

• Finite verbs can take pronominal suffixes. They serve as the direct object or indirect object of the verb.
• Reproducing the verbal forms with pronominal suffixes is not required.
• The suffixes are not so difficult to recognize.
• However, when a suffix is added, one or two syllables are added at the end of the verb.
• As we have learned, the primary accent of a Hebrew word can only be either on the last or the next to the last syllable.
• Consequently, we will almost always have accent shifts and vowel changes.
• This brings us back to chapter 4.
• You must be familiar with the vowel change rules (pp. 24–26 of the textbook) in order to understand and parse the verbs.
