Hallo Jerry, thankyou for pointing that out, I actually read that this particular verb in hiphl has a direct object and the qal need not, but your explanation solidifies this thankyou. So much to learn , so little time to learn it all. Chris Watts Ireland

But in the hiphil the verb means to make a second object to be high or to raise it up. So for this particular verb, the hiphil works quite well as a causative. Indeed, it might be said that for this particular verb, in the qal stem it is intransitive, but in the hiphil it is transitive. This isn't always the case with all verbs, but with this particular verb it is.
