1a) Infinitive Construct is used as a verbal noun corresponding to the English verbal noun ending in "-ing"

1a1) as subject

to seek thy heart

1a2) as object
in his "writing"
he spoke, "saying"

1b) The Infinitive Absolute does not allow prefixes or suffixes

1b1) Used with a verb to emphasize the verbal idea. This is often rendered by an English adverb, such as, "surely", "utterly".

1b2) It may be used by itself with the value of a finite form of the verb, especially an imperative.
