You shouldn't think of it as a separate binyan. Just remember that there are seven: qal - niphal, piel - pual, hiphil - hophal, hitpael. Everything else is related to these seven by analogy, whether hishtaphel, hitpalel, phitpolel, polel, or any other. They all come back to the basic seven.

Right now I'm just reviewing everything I've gone over and trying to cement the forms for verbs in (particularly irregulars). I'm also reading up on extra chapters in my grammar that goes over the basic features of the BHS and I'm also reading a slightly more advanced book on syntax, because in translation I also get tripped up by idioms and syntactical constructions that don't translate well.

Reps: 6,822,502,679,472,201,728 (power: 6,822,502,679,472,209) | | | Specifically, Gesenius mentions:
Polel
Pilel / Pulal / Hitpalel
Pealel (notice that he also mentions diminutive nouns in this connection - which would be like כְּלַבְלַב puppy)
Pilpel
Tiphel (in modern Hebrew, we have תִּדְלֵק to fill up gas and תִּקְשֵׁר to communicate as examples)
Shaphel (only in one biblical Hebrew word: שַׁלְהֶבֶת spark, ember, flame)
These are all special cases, and they are not numerous enough to memorize as different binyanim. You should make sure that you know the standard binyanim and can recognize the irregulars. Beyond that, don't go overboard with memorization. Everything fits the patterns, even if there are some strange ones (like those above). | | |
