- While other professors may require students to indicate whether a yiqtol verb is a cohortative or jussive, Dr. Garrett does not expect students to do so.
- You can use yiqtol for parsing.
- You DO need to indicate whether the verb has a paragogic Hey or it is apocopated (p. 221).
- Many cohortative and jussive verbs neither have a paragogic Hey or are apocopated.
- They look exactly like regular yiqtol verbs.
- The rule of thumb is that when a yiqtol verb is in the first position of a clause, it is very likely cohortative or jussive.
- Your translation should be like “Let …”, “May …” etc., to bring out the volitional meaning.
