what i'm getting at, peter, is that you should be able to show
continuity of order effects with yiqtol from modern straight through to
mishnaic and qumran; also in aramaic dialects, ugaritic. so if i
could bring all that evidence together with a generative analysis for
hebrew that also has at its heart word order and the semantics of
yiqtol.... well, of course i wouldn't prove anything, but as data to
adduce in favour of the analysis, that would weigh pretty heavy.

right?
