Re: Is this analysis of Isaiah 9:6 a legitimate one?
The JPS translators are certainly not trinitarian. Their translation supports the traditional view. JPS 9:5 For a child is born unto us, A son is given unto us; And the government is upon his shoulder; And his name is called Pele-joez-el-gibbor-Abi-ad-sar-shalom; Notice also they treat all the names...

Re: is yashku really a hiphil imperfect? I see no yud or hirik!
Well the first thing I noticed is the hey is not apocopated. So it is behaving like a strong verb. Most likely an older form preserved in Job because it's poetry. That's just of the to of my head. I'll look into this now a little closer.

Re: is yashku really a hiphil imperfect? I see no yud or hirik!
Yes the Pathak in the prefix is the tell. It's a weak verb (Final hey) that's why there's no hirik. The causative is not only common, it fits the context. Notice Jacob removes the stone and Waters the docks himself. וַיִּגַּ֣שׁ יַעֲקֹ֗ב וַיָּ֤גֶל אֶת־הָאֶ֙בֶן֙ מֵעַל֙ פִּ֣י הַבְּאֵ֔ר וַיַּ֕שְׁקְ אֶת־...

I built this chart showing how Moses uses the same macro-structure in both creation accounts.

Re: Hard to explain question about a verb ending
Also I noticed footnote 4. It is, however, a question whether, instead of a connecting syllable, we should not assume a special verbal form, analogous to the Arabic energetic mood (see l, at the end) and probably also appearing in the Hebrew cohortative (see the footnote on §48c).—As M. Lambert has ...

Re: Hard to explain question about a verb ending
58l That the forms with Nûn energicum are intended to give greater emphasis to the verbal form is seen from their special frequency in pause. Apart from the verb, however, Nûn energicum occurs also in the union of suffixes with certain particles (§100o). This Nûn is frequent in Western Aramaic. In A...

Re: Hard to explain question about a verb ending
Continued 58k Rem. The uncontracted forms with Nûn are rare, and occur only in poetic or elevated style (Ex 152, Dt 3210 [bis], Jer 522, 2224); they are never found in the 3rd fem. sing. and 1st plur. On the other hand, the contracted forms are tolerably frequent, even in prose. An example of ־ֶ֫ נּ...

Re: Hard to explain question about a verb ending
It's a [i]nun energicum[i/]. 58i 4. A verbal form with a suffix gains additional strength, and sometimes intentional emphasis, when, instead of the mere connecting vowel, a special connecting-syllable[4] (ăn)[5] is inserted between the suffix and the verbal stem. Since, however, this syllable always...

Re: Active and passive forms of verbs
Ok I just read John's comment. I think John is referring to the idea of an actual presence in the language of every passive. I'm thinking more in terms of potential usage. In my view every transitive verb has a potentially viable passive.
