WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
Person endings on עַל
The preposition עַל develops a recognizable inflected family. The base is not always preserved exactly as a separate word, but the forms remain related: עָלַי, עָלָיו, עֲלֵיהֶם. These forms are common enough that automatic recognition is more useful than trying to reconstruct them from scratch every time.
