This Aramaic (Chaldean) form is equivalent in use to the Hebrew Hithpolel, and is causative/reflexive in meaning like the Hithpael. The separate term occurs because certain verb forms reduplicate their final consonant and change into a quadriliteral (4-letter) root rather than the normal triliteral (3-letter) root form. This form additionally lengthens the initial vowel in the first consonant.
