In the Huf’al binyan, roots that begin with nun (נ) undergo assimilation in the future tense. The nun disappears, and the second root letter is doubled with a dagesh. The forms are built with the standard Huf’al future tense prefixes (א, ת, י, נ) plus the assimilated root.
Example
- נ.ג.שׁ → להיות מוגש (to be served/presented)
- אֻגַּשׁ – I will be served/presented
- תֻּגַּשׁ – you (m.s.) will be served/presented / she will be served/presented
- תֻּגְּשִׁי – you (f.s.) will be served/presented
- יֻגַּשׁ – he will be served/presented
- נֻגַּשׁ – we will be served/presented
- תֻּגְּשׁוּ – you (pl.) will be served/presented
- יֻגְּשׁוּ – they will be served/presented
