§ 190. Verbs, which do not have regular forms of moods and tenses. or verbs, which do not have all the different verbal forms, such as PA'EL, E T h PA'AL, AP h 'EL etc., may be called defective verbs or verbs of of incomplete conjugation. But generally, this term is limited to those verbs, which are used in P " A L and which do not have a complete conjugation in that form. The following are the most common of such verbs:— 1. waojj. _ to give (cfr. § 8 3 - 4 ) , has no Imperfect and Infinitive in P ec AL. It has a complete conjugation in ET h P e t EL (§ 123). 2.
SLi-
to give (cfr. § 8 3 - 4 ) , has only Imper-
fect and Infinitive in P"AL. These two verbs- aojj. & - together make a complete conjugation in the P e 'AL form. 3.
- has only the Present participle in P«AL, • as- s. m. wnji f. pi. m. ^-tosjf. ^ a ? ) - to be due; it behoves, it is obligatory. a) When it means "to be due1" is inflected in all the forms of the Present participle as given above.

Simple Perfect is often used instead of Pluperfect in the sense of had or had been. So, j&a = tool j ^ a m e a n s - he wrote; he has written; he had written; or also, he was writing; he has been writing; he had been writing. :*>. The compound tenses of "future perfect", "future anterior", "desiderative" and ''emphatic or obligatory" are not of frequent occurrence; they are often represented by simple Imperfect. So, = Jooi , «.sisa ?oqu. ??®J* , ?ooj etc., may mean, he, will write, will have written, would have written; let him write, he should write, etc. II.
