==Perfect of 3-weak verbs==

Note however that in [[Tanakh:Genesis 1:4|Gen. 1:4]] imperfect, 3rd person, sing., masc. of the word ירא (from ראה) doesn't end with ה but the ה is omitted.
==Active participle of 3-weak verbs==
The perfect of empty words is formed similar to perfect of regular verbs but with two letters (the first and the last letter of the root) instead of the full root.
In imperfect the second letter of the root is not omitted. Before the suffix נה in imperfect of empty verbs sometimes is added the letter י. (WRONG: Sometimes it is omitted in imperfect: [[Tanakh:Genesis_4:8|Gen. 4:8]], word [[Hebrew:ויקם|ויקם]].
In participles of empty verbs the second letter of the root is omitted.
[[==Perfect and imperfect of double verbs== The verbs whose two last letters of the root are identical are called double verbs. In some forms of perfect the last letter is replaced with ו. An example with perfect of the word סבב (encircled): {| class="grammar"!person !! gender !! singular !! plural|-|rowspan=2|3rd || masculine || סבב ||rowspan=2 | סבבו|-|feminine || סבבה|-|rowspan=2|2nd || masculine ||rowspan=2 | סבות || סבותם|-|| feminine || סבותן|-|1st || || סבותי || סבונו|} Some of double verbs follow the regular declension. In imperfect of double verbs one of the double letters is omitted. ==Imperfect of 1-נ== For 1-נ verbs the letter נ is omitted after prefixes in imperfect (not always). נ is also sometimes omitted in imperative of 1-נ verbs. In infinitive or these verbs the first נ in the root is omitted and added ת after the root. Some of the verbs 1-י are declined in the same way as 1-נ. ==Imperfect of 1-א verbs== In the first person, singular of 1-א (having א as the first letter of the root) verbs that א is omitted (so leaving only one א instead of two consecutive אא). Sometimes א is omitted in other imperfect forms (see Gesenius), specifially after letter Yod. ==Imperfect of 1-י verbs== The Yod is omitted in some forms for some of these verbs. (TODO]]: Specify exactly.) ==Other irregular verbs== Aleph on both second and third position is sometimes omitted in verbs and participles (Gesenius).
