Ibn Ezra on Genesis 9:21/אבן עזרא על בראשית ט׳:כ״א
אויתגל. מלשון גלוי, מבנין התפעל וכן ואל יתעל (ירמי' נא ג)
1AND HE WAS UNCOVERED. Va-yitgal (and he was uncovered) comes from the root gimel, lamed, heh, meaning to uncover. It is a hitpa’el. Yital (lift himself up) in And let him lift himself up (yital) (Jer. 51:3)35 and a lamed heh. Its root is ayin, lamed, heh. is similar.
בוה"א אהלה מקום וי"ו וכן "את קול העם ברעה" (שמות לב יז), כי פרעה אהרן (שם שם כה):
2[HIS TENT.] The heh of oholoh (his tent) is in place of a vav.36. The heh of be-re’oh (as they shouted), in the noise of the people as they shouted (be-re’oh) (Ex. 32:17), and the heh of fera’oh (let them loose) in for Aaron had let them loose (fera’oh) (Ex. 32:25), are similar.
