עֹרְבִים	עֹרֵב: raven noun, common, masculine, plural
מְבִיאִים	בּוא: come in, come, go in, go verb, hiphil, participle, masculine, plural  This word has the same endiNG as the word ~ybiªr>[oh'w> just before it and so the words are probably connected in some way. If ~yai’ybim. were a noun, it would need a conjunction to link it to ~ybiªr>[oh'w> If it were an attributive adjective, it would be definite. There is one verb form which has a m preformative in most stems and takes adjective endiNGs. The vowel under the preformative seems to indicate Piel (31.1). BUT there is no doubled middle root letter. What is the middle root letter? (This is a very familiar root. Check 35.3 if necessary). What is the stem? Remember: 1. Hollow verbs do not go into the Piel 2. The addition of a suffix to a form can cause vowel shortening at the front of the word. Review question: How would the m. sg, of this word be pointed? (33.5)

מְקֹשֶׁשֶׁת	קשׁשׁ: gather stubble verb, poel, participle, feminine, singular  There are two possibilities for the root of this word. One is that it is hollow, the other is that it is a geminate. (The dictionary most likely has it as a geminate) How does the hollow verb possibility come up – because there are two ways to intensify a hollow verb. One is to repeat the two strong letter cluster as in ^l.K,l.k;l. (1 Kings 17:4). The other is to double the second strong letter. Shewa under the preformative m , holem after the first root letter, and doubling of the second strong radical (root letter) mean that this verb is in the Polel (a variation of the Piel), a stem saved for troublesome verb types such as hollows and geminates. You should be able to identify the form and PGN of this word. Warning: The introduction of a female character means that you should be on the lookout for feminine singular verb forms and suffixes.
