Suffix Directional He |
|
|
===================== |
|
|
|
|
|
Summary |
|
|
------- |
|
|
|
|
|
The directional (he) suffix at the end of a term expresses the concept of movement (either in space or in time) toward the word |
|
|
(usually a person or thing) that takes the suffix. |

|
------- |
|
|
|
|
|
This suffix should not be confused with the third person feminine singular :ref:`pronominal suffix<suffix_pronominal>`, |
|
|
although it looks very similar. The directional ה (he) suffix is never accented, nor does it affect the vowel pattern of a word |
|
|
in any way. This is in contrast to the third person feminine singular pronominal suffix, which can take the accent and affects |
|
|
the vocalization of the word to which it is attached. |
|
|
|
|
|
Form |
|
|
---- |
|
|
|
|
|
This suffix consists of a ה (he) consonant preceded by a qamets vowel. |
