Dear Prof Niccacci and others,
I have been adhering to Alviero Niccacci's belief in the volitivity of
initial yiqtol. Judges 2:1 presents an interesting problem. 'a(aLeH ,
"brought up" seems to clearly be past tense, non-volitive. This verb,
however, has two spellings for the Hiphil, eight times with patach, and
fifteen with segol. The ones with patach seem to be non-volitive and
the ones with segol seem to be cohortatives. I did not look at every
example. Has anyone investigated this question?
