i have tried to make my notes less cryptic:  i have supplied a manuscript 
at my web subdirectory ...papers/ entitled "On the Semantics of Modal 
Coordination in Biblical Hebrew".

while this is still not accessible to the nonspecialist, it's still a 
start to putting words to those notes....  probably would require a 
monographic treatment, but who in the field would publish it?!! ;-)

N.B. the use of negation and mood. this reminds me of a recent 
dissertation using mood as the basic inflectional element:  have to look 
that up....  was it susan rattray?

cheers
