Dear Randall,
If you have read my beginning post, you will see that I was not presenting
"weqatal
continuative" as my view,but as the predominant view of traditional grammar,
and some
not so traditional, such as Niccacci.

{i think that Lee Martin said:}
> No, that doesn't clear it up for me, because weqatal is the only verb
form
> that seems to continue the aspect, tense, and modality from a previous
verb.

no. the above is not biblical hebrew.
