Dear Rodney Duke,

If my reply is not too late, I would mention that H. Irsigler wrote about problematic weqatals in Ezekiel, esp. Ch. 37, in _ZAW_ 97 (1985) 366-389.

On difficult, or even "aberrant", cases of weqatal, here is a small bibliographical list:

- J. Huesman in _Biblica_ 37 (1956) 410-434, suggested these weqatals to be read as absolute infinitives preceded by waw. This however requires several textual corrections.

- E.J. Revell in _HUCA_ 60 (1989) 1-37.
- H.-J. Stipp, in: W. Gross - H. Irsigler - T. Seidl (eds.), _Text, Methode und Grammatik_ (Fs. W. Richter), 1991, 521-547 (in German).
- R.E. Longacre, in: R.D. Bergen (ed), _Biblical Hebrew and Discourse Linguistics_, 1994, 50-98.
- Bo Isaksson, *"Aberrant" Usages of Introductory wehaya in the Light of Textlinguistics*, in: K.-D. Schunk -M. Augustin (eds.), _"Lasset uns Brücken bauen..."_ (BEATAJ 42; IOSOT Congress, Cambridge 1995).
- I also wrote on the subject, in _Syntax_ #158 (ii), and also in a book review of the Richter Fs. (see Stipp above), in _Liber Annuus_ 44 (1994) 686-692 (in Italian).

Peace and all good.
Alviero Niccacci
