declension (grammar)

In the grammar of the Semitic languages ,


the term declension refers to a group of
roots whose declension rules are different
from the usual declension rules. In another
wording, the declensions are a series of
minor rules for declension of verbs and
nouns . The derivations are a clear
example of a morpho-phonemic
phenomenon - a phenomenon in which
phonetic and phonological characteristics
(theory of the vowel) affect the
.morphology (theory of forms)

In Semitic linguistics it is customary to


describe morphology as being based on
abstract morphemes (forms) called " roots
". According to this theory, a typical root
consists of three elementary consonants ,
and is inserted into building patterns (to
create verbs) or weights (to create nouns ,
adjectives , etc.). The derivations are
groups of roots in which one or more of
the three consonants have unusual
properties that cause it to change or
disappear, or they do not have exactly
.three consonants
Formation
The formation of derivations is usually
described in two parallel processes: in one
process, regular third roots became "weak"
roots because of phonetic and
phonological processes that took place in
one of the consonants of the root. This
process characterizes, for example, the
roots in which the consonants N , Y , A or V
; For example, the verb "traveled" in the
future tense was supposed to be "traveled"
(as in "wearing"), but in the consonant N,
the resemblance to the consonant S was
applied , after which the form "travel" was
created, with a strong emphasis on the "s".
‫‪In a second process, roots that were‬‬
‫‪initially, according to the prevailing‬‬
‫[‬ ‫]‬
‫‪hypothesis‬‬ ‫‪source needed‬‬ ‫‪, two-consonant,‬‬
‫‪became roots in a three-consonant form,‬‬

‫השורש; למשל השורש ק"ם‪ ,‬שבו יש תנועה‬
‫ארוכה[דרושה הבהרה] (ָק ם‪ָ ,‬י קּום) במקום שבדרך‬
‫כלל יש בו תנועה קצרה‪.‬‬

‫קבוצות השורשים האלה מכונות "הגזרות" או‬

‫השלישי; קבוצה זו מכונה "גזרת הכפולים"‪.‬‬

‫ביתר השפות השמיות) מתבסס על הבלשנות‬
‫[דרוש מקור] ששימשה‬,‫הערבית של ימי הביניים‬
‫תשתית גם לבלשנות של מדקדקי העברית בימי‬
The names of the derivations are .‫הביניים‬
so ,)‫ فعل‬:Arabic( based on the root verb
that the verb P (pa'f) is the first letter of the
root, the verb E (a'f) is the second letter of
the root, and the verb L (la "P) is the third
letter in the root. In modern Semitic
linguistics, it is also customary to use the
for the names of )‫ קפל‬in Arabic( root KTL
because this root ,‫ גשרוט‬weights and
exists (in the t-t alternation) in all Semitic
languages ​and because it is not affected
exchange and the ‫קפט‬-‫ געד‬by the
. properties of the guttural consonants

Often, the special rules of the derivations


apply only to some of the roots suitable
for their definition; For example, the root
N.S.M. It does not lose the P. Hapoel N. of
. its 22 Gesrat Hapan

Classification of sectors
The sectors are divided into several
groups of sectors, which have common
characteristics related to the processes
.that caused their formation
Complete sections

Complete segments" are called segments"


in which none of the root letters is dropped
.in any way

Complete - "regular" three-letter roots


that are never dropped or inferior. In this
section you hear and see all the letters
.of the root along the declension
Squares - roots consisting of 4 letters.
Such roots can only come in the
construction fiel, verb, or exclamation.
The three heavy constructions fi'el, pa'al
and teil allow an additional place for an
additional root letter in the place where
.the pattern emphasis appears

Inferior cuts

Inferior declensions" are declensions in"


which in some of the inflections one of the
letters of the root is "neha" (that is, it is
written but not used as a consonant ), and
.in some it is even omitted altogether

Napa - Roots where the verb P is the


consonant A. This derivation takes place
in the simple future tense with only 8
roots - A.H.B (Yahab), A.P.I/E (Yapa),
A.H.Z (hold), A.K.L (eat), A.B.I/E (Yabe),
A.M.R (Yamer), A.B.D (Yaved), A.H.D
(Yahd) These verbs are characterized by
a special future form: yoachal, yoamer,
yoave, in which the a is not heard and
the vowel before it changes to dream.
The declension applies only to some of
the verbs and to others it does not
apply: ya'hav. Arabic does not tolerate
two consecutive mezes, the second of
which is punctuated by a void, and
therefore in cases As such, the mazeh
will become an appropriate reading or
.will be omitted altogether

They are treated as a single declension,
both because of the processes of
recitation between the declensions, and
also because in biblical Hebrew a copy
occurs from the consonant V to the
consonant Y at the beginning of the
words (for example, " child " versus "
Wald " or Wold in Arabic). These roots
were apparently two-consonantal, and
the V was often added to them as an
epenthetic consonant, until it became
part of the root (epenthesis - a
consonant or vowel that is added to a
word to maintain a pattern or weight, for
example the N in the adjective "manual"

Complex derivations - there are roots
that belong to more than one derivation,
and each of them can have an effect on
the final form, until certain words in
Arabic have one letter as a result of the
omission of root letters. For example:
"Apa" is composed of the segment PA
and LH, and "Naka" is composed of the
.segment PN and LH
The guttural derivation - a derivation in
which one or more of the root
consonants is a guttural letter (in
Hebrew : 5 , 1 , 8 , 1 , 2 ). In Hebrew, due
to certain difficulties in pronouncing
these letters, there were changes in
vowels that distinguish buildings or
. weights, such as vowel abductions
