The hif’il participle is built with a מ prefix. In most cases, the מ prefix is vocalized in the same way as the signal letter for the imperfect. Exceptions are the empty ע verbs, and a few others. In general, the final syllables of hif’il participles follow the same patterns as pa’al participles, except that most feminine singular forms use the kamatz-hey suffix instead of the segolate ending.
