I assume that, using a database like the BHS morph, it would be 
necessary to look for a qatal form not preceded by waw that is 
preceded by either rebia, atnach or soph pasuq.  That's assuming 
the database codes any of the accents...do you have a few 
examples of the type you describe?  If so can you drop the refs to 
me off-list?
