A New Paradigm of Hebrew Verbs: Verbs Categorized by Patterns of Infinitives represents a bold change in approach to representing Hebrew verbs. Traditionally, Hebrew verbs charts begin by listing the binyan then letter types such as gutteral, initial yud, final hey etc. which are then shown in their conjugated forms. This work reverses this process in order to show patterns of verbs that would not otherwise be noticed. Verbs are categorized based on the infinitive verb forms in order to demonstrate which irregular letters produce particular infinitive verb patterns.
