here's a thought to chew on....

let's buy all the business about wayyiqtol, etc, etc., a al longacre,
etc.

is it possible that a weqatal could provide a subchain or subbackbone
or a subwhatever for a mainline wayyiqtol?? kind'a a multidimensional
something or other, but hey...

mainline......................
|
---> submainline.....................

crucially, not "offline".

so instead of having X qatal --> wayyiqtol, period
possible sequence Xqatal --> wayyiqtol --> weqatal, where weqatal
both online and yet not quite online.

don't know. too wild. can't believe I'm trying to advance this model,
but don't get me started. ;-) might add just enough flex to make the
model viable, though. hmmmmmm.

what say?
