It seems to me that there are many *secrets *of the Holladay lexicon and other lexicons which are not documented. Perhaps you can help me with these questions. Reference the entry for nathan (NFTAN), in the 1988 edition (13th impression) on page 249. In the grammatical forms section (preceding definition) there are entries for imperfects (impf.). The second one is YIT.EN- . Does the ending meqqeph indicate that this is a form that only appears with object suffixes? Additionally, I find myself asking regularly if the listed grammatical forms are intended to be the exhaustive list of Hebrew Bible uses or is it only a list of non-regular forms, which cannot be determined from my beginning text book (e.g. Seow).
