Dear Professor,
In an earlier post you said, "-*lo' + yiqtol* is the negative counterpart of 
weqatal,"
but below you have named it the "negative wayyiqtol."  I'm afraid that I do 
not
understand why.   Your earlier post said that " *welo' + qatal*" is negative
wayyiqtol. Could you explain again please.
