I agree. In fact WYHY has been and should be subject to independent
analysis. In terms of discourse marking function it is probably similar to
kai egeneto in the LXX and NT. ...

Probably because KAI EGENETO is simply a literal translation of WAYHIY which then became a calque used in Jewish Greek. So to say WAYHIY is like KAI EGENETO is backwards, you should be saying that KAI EGENETO is like WAYHIY.
