Appendix:Hebrew patterns/קָטִיל

Hebrew

Etymology

From *qatīl-. As a result of being next to the stressed syllable and open, the /a/ in the first one became lengthened. Words of the second semantic group are usually rather derived from a strengthened form of *qatil- (by lengthening the second vowel).

Noun

קָטִיל • (katíl) m (plural indefinite קְטִילִים, singular construct קְטִיל־, plural construct קְטִילֵי־)

Used for forming:

1. Passive participles used as substantives, especially to stress the duration of being in a certain state. Cf. קָטוּל.

   מָשִׁיחַ (anointed)

2. Intransitive or active adjectives and substantives.

   Intransitive: צָעִיר (small, young)

   Active: נָבִיא (prophet)

3. Substantives denoting a specific period of time.

   אָבִיב (spring)
