$kx verb G

A highly irregular verb. The initial aleph is prothetic, but the resulting form is treated as a quasi-afel, often with a preformative vowel in a instead of original e. Hence the active participle in mem, already in OfA, which even shows the distinctive heh of the early h/afel. CPA shows a perfect passive ܐܫܟܝܚ ; Sam. almost always שקח or שקע
