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.
