Dear Bryan,

What about Deuteronomy 32? Are there four sentence initial YI QTOLs or none?

Best regards

Hi James,

bimqom is a preposition and its object, right? What corresponds to a
prepositional phrase in English? And it is functioning adverbially,
right? Specifically, it is answering the question, "where?"

What verb is it modifying? The answer tells us very definitely with
which clause bimqom belongs. There is nothing the slightest bit bendy
about it. There is nothing the slightest bit about it that has to do
with where it appears on the page or what cantillation marks are
employed in the verse.

Here the passage is diagrammed (ye'amer(a) is the first ye'amer in the
verse, and ye'amer(b) is the second):

ye'amer(b)--beney 'el xay
/ \
bimqom lahem
|
|'asher
|
ye'amer(a)--lo' `amiy 'atem
\
lahem

Shalom,
Bryan

Yep!
Rolf's right here.
The argument becomes very circular when we have such a bendy definition of
clause initial.
