One interesting thing in relation to Hatav's idea that BH yiqtol is modal
is that in Mishnaic Hebrew yiqtol is certainly modal, as I think M.H.
Segal pointed out. I seem to remember that this was discussed by Rundgren.
Hatav's approach could lead to an interesting reexamination of the
diachronic shifts in the verbal system on the way to post-BiblicaI Hebrew.
