SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Everyone is familiar with the idea that Hebrew is
based on triliteral ROOTS. These triliteral roots can
be CONJUGATED in a variety of forms. Each distinct
conjugation gives rise to a distinct meaning. Hence it
can happen that two conjugations are spelled almost
identically but mean totally different things.
EXAMPLES
--------
AwShAwn:AwShAn::Smoke(noun):To smoke(Verb)
PaChaz:PawChaz::Fizz(Noun):To fiz(Verb)
HawMam:Hawmawm::To smash::To smash them
HithHalech:HithHalech::He walked:Walk(Command)
BA-ah::ba-AH::He came::He is coming
Yehgel:YeeGel::He exiled others:He was exiled
YAYlech:YAYgel::He walked(active)::He exiled them(reflexive)
