DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES SERMON 3A INTERRUPTED & CONTINUED IN SERMON 3B. Gavin says, "SHAH rule 5 ... If one is dealing with a more vigorous causative action of a verb then a verb or participle could be prima facie an aphel or haphel; but if a more vigorous causative action is absent then the verb or participle a haphel." E.g. "In the huff'n'puff aphel-haphel disputes" "shewing" "at Dan. 5:12 it's an unusual dispute in that it's not over syncopated prefix imperfect verbs & participles, but rather, over this infinitive verb. … Davidson's … Lexicon denies" it's "either an aphel or haphel verb & classifies it as a Chaldee feminine singular noun." "Brown-Driver-Briggs' … classifies" it "as an aphel infinitive verb … Miles Van Pelt is non-committal & regards it as either an aphel or haphel infinitive construct verb. But given … the 1st letter is a short a under an Aleph vowel pointer" under "my Five SHAH rules" it is an aphel infinitive verb." "Dan. 5:19, 'he kept alive'" "In the huff'n'puff aphel-haphel syncopated prefix imperfect verbs & participles disputes" "Brown-Driver-Briggs'" says it's "a haphel" "Davidson" & "Van Pelt" say it's a haphel [sic., both here say aphel]. This is a masculine singular participle, in which this syncopated form has clearly left an aphel tracer short a under the vowel pointer of the first letter … & so under SHAH Rule 4 it's an aphel participle." "At Daniel 6:8 'establish'" "Brown-Driver-Briggs'" say it's "a haphel verb, whereas both" "Davidson" & "Van Pelt" say "it as an aphel." This "syncopated form has clearly left the haphel trace marker of a sheva under the first "th" letter" & "so under SHAH Rule 3 it's a haphel imperfect verb."
