DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES RECORDING INTERRUPTED & CONTINUED IN SERMON 3B. Gavin says, "I have discovered 5 grammatical rules of the Aramaic shaphel, aphel, and haphel" "SHAH Rule 2 is: the imperfect verb divides into the haphel imperfect which in the 1st person common singular starts with an Aleph vowel pointer & haphel h which though generally vowelled with a short e under the Aleph & short a under the h, may also be revowelled otherwise while retaining the Aleph vowel pointer & haphel h, & which other than for the 1st person common singular starts with a 1st letter with a sheva under it, followed by the haphel h & a vowel, as opposed to the aphel imperfect which having lost its aleph vowel pointer other than for the 1st person common singular imperfect, always starts with a short a as a tracer from the originating aleph with a short a under it. SHAH Rule 3 has some extrapolation overlap with SHAH Rule 2. But for the syncopated imperfect verbs, if the 1st vowel under the first letter is a sheva then it's a haphel imperfect verb retaining the sheva as a vowel tracer, in contrast to when the first vowel under the first letter is a short a in which instance it is an aphel imperfect verb retaining the short a as a vowel tracer. SHAH Rule 4 … is … For participles the syncopated m-short a prefixed participle is an aphel in which the vowel pointer aleph has been dropped, but it has left behind the aphel tracer of a short a; whereas the fuller form mh prefixed participle is a haphel, & when syncopated, generally the sheva is retained from the vowelling in a haphel participle." (For SHAH rule 5 see Sermon 3b continued after recording difficulties fixed.)
