E N D
The Infinitive Absolute is a verbal noun. Like the Infinitive Construct, the Infinitive Absolute is not inflected for person, gender, or number – so there is only one form to memorize! The Qamets – Holem Waw vowel pattern of the strong verb also occurs in most weak verb types. The Holem Waw stem vowel may be written defectively as Holem. The Infinitive Absolute does not occur with prepositional prefixes or pronominal suffixes, unlike the Infinitive Construct.
