Derived Aramaic stems
Derived stems modify a root’s verbal pattern and often its voice or valency. Daniel supplies securely analyzed examples: Pael מְשַׁבַּח, Haphel הוֹדַעְתַּנִי, a reflexive/passive derived participle מִתְקַטְּלִין, and causative יְקִים. English labels such as ‘causative’ help, but the actual pointed form and source context remain primary.
