Yes, completely seriously, ubiq.

When there is any change in the form of a verb or a noun that differs from the form of a standard one there’s a reason, including but not limited to the presence of a letter that can’t get a dagesh (such as an aleph or a hei or an ayin or others) or similarly a letter that can’t get s shva. Unlike English (go/went; eat/ate; is/was; like/liked; buy/bought; bring/brought; sing/sang) which makes (make/made) no sense at all.

If you think there are rules broken in Hebrew without explanation, it’s because you can’t figure out the reason, not because there isn’t one.
