Exegesis
The infinitive absolute niggof {נִגּוֹף | nig-gōp̄} preceding the perfect nigaf {נִגָּף | nig-gāp̄} intensifies the statement of defeat.
In context — Judges 20:39
And the men of Israel turned in the battle , and Benjamin began to strike down the slain among them, about thirty men, for they said, “Surely, they are utterly defeated before us, as in the first battle.”
