Do you mean the vav in VA-YI-QAX (Genesis 25:1), that "coverts" YI- QAX? Is the YI in YI-QAX also a yod conversive turning the imperative QAX into the future YI-QAX?

I suppose that:

a. genesis 25:1 (past tense, pronomial prefix verb form?); and

b. isaiah 2:4 (future tense, pronomial suffix verb form?);

exemplify the two forms with "converting" vav attached as prefix.

This sounds remarkable. Could you give us an examples of this vav for both conversions?

lol ...

i don't know ...

that's the conventional wisdom ...

the vav prefix converts pronoun prefixed verbs from future to past tense; and pronoun suffixed verbs from past to future tense ....

i gather you have not subscribed to that program?

What is this vav conversive? Is it converting something?
