Verbs עו
Verbs which have a ו (or י) for their second radical, make their roots in the infinitive mood; as מוּת (not מָוַת) to die; בּוֹא (not בָוָא) to go, come, bring.
 
Nouns in Construction.
When two nouns come together, of, or of the, must be placed between them when the sense requires it.
 
Of Niphal Future.
In the future tense of Niphal, the נ characteristic is always left out; but a Dagesh in the first radical will determine the Niphal conjugation; as יִפָּקֵד for יִנְפָקֵד [blank] for [blank]
Note. When either of the letters ה ח ר א or ע is the first radical (these letters never take a dagesh), then the future letter which excludes the נ, takes a Tsaree ( ֵ ) under it; as תֵּרָאֶה for תִּרָאֶה or in full [blank] for [blank] etc.
 
Niphal Imperative & Infinitive.
The Infinitive and Imperative Niphal, prefixes הִ׀ָּ or הֵ׀ָ to the root.
 
Hiphil Infin. and Imperative.
הַ prefixed to the verb is the sign of the Infinitive and Imperative Hiphil.
הָ is prefixed when the verb has lost its middle radical ו.
הוֹ or הֹ is prefixed when the root has a י for the first radical; See § 51.

אֶת־) אֵת) The Sign of The Objective Case.
All the suffixes are found joined to the end of אֵת as אֹתָם them, אֹתוֹ him, אֹתָךְ thee, אֹתִי me, אֹתהּ her, it, etc.
Note. אֶת אֵת sometimes signifies with; and in this case the [blank] has Kheerek under it; as אִתָּם with them, אִתּוֹ with him, אתָךְ אִתְךָ with thee, etc. [p. 5]
