These verbs have usually one argument, and thus passivization is difficult,
since it usually reduces the number of arguments.
Nevertheless, Niphael and Hitpael forms are not uncommon for these verbs.
- In these cases, an implicit Agent appears, in others, situation aspect is transformed.
+ In these cases, an implicit Agent appears, in others, situation aspect is transformed\pagenr{303}.

+ Examples of situation aspect distinction:
+ Ex.~34:2,5: \emph{stand} and \emph{going to stand};
+ Gn.~8:12 \emph{wait until a moment} and Ps.~37:7 \emph{the activity of waiting}.}

+ The verb \emph{go, walk} appears almost exclusively in the Hitpael when passive.
+ It is then a \emph{wandering around}\pagenr{313}.
+ \idea{does this have to do with the nomadic origins of the Hebrew people?}
+ This supports the situation aspectual distinction,
+ since walking cannot really be conceived statively.
+ \emph{Flee}, however, appears mostly in the Niphal, hence it focuses on the resulting state\pagenr{314}.

+ Niphal yiqtol forms (e.g. Qoh.~7:26) present a problem:
+ how to combine the resultative and imperfective aspect\pagenr{318}?
+ The yiqtol expresses an iterative sense, here:
+ this is a general rule that applies to every individual.
+ Every individual ends in the same state, hence the Niphal.
