Dear List,

I recently reviewed some past posts that I had not read and came across
those by DeCaen (10/16-17) about wayyiqtols.  I even downloaded and
"looked at" (could not comprehend) his document.  I do not understand
virtually anything about his particular linguistic approach, and when he
does say something in English, it is so elliptical, I still usually do
not know what he means.  However, I would like to understand what he
believes he has worked out about the Hebrew verbal system.  Would one of
you specialists in linguistics, who understand his method and system of
notation, please translate in lay terms Dr. DeCaen's theses and then, if
you want, give an evaluation?  Thanks!

Rodney
