Biblical Hebrew utilizes four different types of suffixes. The most common type is the
|
|
:ref:`pronominal suffix<suffix_pronominal>` which changes form based on both gender and number. However, there are also three
|
|
other simple suffixes called the :ref:`directional ה (he)<suffix_directional_he>`, the :ref:`paragogic ה (he)<suffix_paragogic_he>`,
|
|
and the :ref:`paragogic נ (nun)<suffix_paragogic_nun>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: These suffixes should not be confused with the prefixes and suffixes that are added to :ref:`finite verbs<verb-finite>` to form verbal conjugations, although certain forms appear very similar.
