[Mesorah] Vayishtachu

[Dov Kramer]

I'm no expert; I just "eavesdrop" on these conversations, but I think the "vav" is part of the shoresh.

The plural version is "vayishtachavu," with two vavs.

(I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, as I should be!)

Why is this word plural even when referring to a single person?
