    Your problems with the system of binyanim (which are well-established for all Semitic languages and can be traced through time in the genealogy) are just the result of Hebrew being a natural, spoken language. There always are ambiguities. They are specifically addressed by Jenni in his works on the stem formations (binyanim are not the conjugations, which are (im)perfect, imperative, etc.), who also notes that when no qal exists, another stem may have lexicalized. This seems to be the case for this particular root. All in all, this answer is plain nonsense. Commented Jun 24, 2018 at 6:59
