1. As noted in the 20th installment of these notes, here, we are going to look at the
paradigm of the Peal Imperfect Paradigm. A chart I’ve created is below:

2. We should recall that the Imperfect expresses an action in the past that may have
a certain sense of “ongoingness” about it.
3. Note that the Imperfect begins with a prefixed y / y in both the 3ms and 3mp. It
also occurs in the 3fp.

4. The 2nd masculines and feminines all begin with the prefix t / t.
5. The 1cs has the prefix a / ) and the 1cp has the prefix n / n.
