[Vincent DeCaen <decaen AT chass.utoronto.ca>]

is anyone aware of a survey of distribution of passives (qal-passive,
pual, hofal, etc) by biblical books (or recognized sections thereof)?
noticed for example an elevated number of puals/hofals in I Isaiah,
e.g., vs, say, Ezekiel.  in terms of microdialectology, might be
useful distinction. separates genesis from jonah, but don't think
that's a surprise.
