Far East Semitic verbs are more analytic; participial and verbnoun forms are more common, as in modern Aramaic dialects.
Derivations that correspond to binyanim in other Semitic languages are more concatenative:
- G-stem: xtab
- D-stem: kʰətʰab
- N-stem: nə·xtab
- S-stem: šə·xtab
- t-stems: tə·xtab
the pa'al / pi'el distinction surfaces as initial clusters vs minor syllables
particles for aspects like Wdm
