Prefixes - noun from root verb
Given a root verb, often addition of m- makes a corresponding noun, eg.
shâphat (to judge) ... mish'pat (judgement)
‘asâh (to do) ... ma‘aseh (a deed)
mˆlakh (to rule/reign) ... mâm'lâkhâh or mâm'lâkhûth (a rule)
Sometimes sh- serves the same purpose, eg.
lahabh (to gleam or flash) ... shal'hebheth (a flame)
Hence, mi- at the start of a word can signify:
- min- (from)
- mi-X-Y-Z (m-prefix noun derived from a root verb)
- m-X-Y (first root consonant)
