Ibn Ezra on Exodus 2:13/אבן עזרא על שמות ב׳:י״ג
אנִצִּים. שם התאר מבנין נפעל והשלם ננצים כמו נראים:
1STRIVING. Nitzim (striving) is a nifal adjective.135 participle. I.E. refers to nifal participles as adjectives. The complete form is nintzim (striving).136 is nun, tzadi, heh. In nitzim the nun of the root is missing because the nun in nitzim is the nun of the nifal. If the word were written with the nun of the root present, it would be written nintzim. Compare, nirim (seen).137. In nirim the entire root is present.
בלרשע. העושה חמס:
2TO HIM THAT DID WRONG. To him that acted violently.
