Suffix Paragogic He
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The paragogic ה (he) suffix can only attach to an imperative verb and most likely expresses some kind of added emphasis to the
|
|
verb. However, the specific nature and meaning of this emphasis is unknown.

-------
|
|
|
|
This suffix should not be confused with the cohortative verbal ending, although they appear exactly alike. These suffixes are
|
|
distinguished by the form of the verb to which they are attached. The paragogic ה suffix always attaches to an
|
|
:ref:`imperative verb<verb_imperative>` in Biblical Hebrew, whereas the cohortative qamets-he ending always attaches to an
|
|
:ref:`imperfect<verb_imperfect>` verb to form the specific :ref:`cohortative<verb_cohortative>` verbal form.
|
|
|
|
Form
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This suffix consists of a ה (he) consonant preceded by a qamets vowel.
