On the origin of these altogether secondary formations cf. §30p. While quadriliteral nouns are tolerably numerous, only the following examples of the verb occur: (a) On the analogy of Piʿēl: כִּרְסֵם‎ imperfect, יְכַרְסְמֶ֫נָּה‎, Psalms 80:14 from כָּסַם‎, cf. גָּזַם‎. Passive רֻֽטֲפַשׁ‎, Job 33:25. Participle מְכֻרְבָּל‎ (cf. Aramaic כְּבַל‎), 1 Chronicles 15:27. It is usual also to include among the quadriliterals פַּרְשֵׁז‎ Job 26:9, as a perfect of Aramaic form with Pathaḥ not attenuated. It is more correctly, however, regarded, with Delitzsch, as the infinitive absolute of a Piʿlel formation, from פָּרַשׂ‎, with euphonic change of the first שׂ‎ to שׁ‎, and the second to ז‎. Moreover, the reading פַּרְשֵׂז‎ also is very well attested, and is adopted by Beer in the text of Job; cf. the Rem. on p. 48 of his edition.

(b) On the analogy of Hiphʿîl: הִשְׂמְאִיל‎, by syncope הִשְׂמִאיל‎ and הִשְׂמִיל‎ to turn to the left (denom. from שְׂמֹאל‎) Genesis 13:9, Isaiah 30:21, &c. On הֶֽאֶזְנִ֫יחוּ‎ cf. §53p.
