I don't claim that this is necessarily
true, but I have seen no clear evidence that WAYYIQTOL is secondary,
rather than primary and reflecting the original dominant Hebrew word order.

Can you give a reference or two, something published that sets forth this view? I'll try to do the same for the description I gave.

Not actually to answer the question - but I just looked at Heimerdinger's treatment of this issue ("Topic, Focus and Foreground in Ancient Hebrew Narrative", p.25), and he notes that Muraoka excludes WAYYIQTOL clauses from his investigation but still consludes that V-S is the basic word order.
