I recently posted a request for tips on resources for this topic to the 
Biblical Studies List and The Biblicalist, particularly in respect to 
qatal/yiqtol sequences. I've collected suggestions below and would be 
grateful for any further tips, as well as any critical comments on the 
theories proposed (Niccacci, for example, seems to part company with Berlin 
and Tatu by treating qatal/yiqtol sequences in parallelism as also having 
some kind of temporal dimension). [p.s. I've posted this too my blog, in case 
you want to update it there:

My name is Vincent IMMER, not jewish from swiss/french origin and living in
 Israel for 10 years now. I am wondering what is the real origin of my
familly  name.
I thought it comes from german, IMMER, which means ALLWAYS.
I just  discovered that this familly name, IMMER or IMME^R, (or IMER
sometimes) in  english, appears in the Bible related to Cohen people, priest 
in
exil in  Babylon.
I wondered why the hebrew name was translated in latin with two  m?
And also I wondered what is the root of this word or its meaning, I read
on this list the it means CONSERVED, or GUARDED (which is in this case not so
 far from the meaning ALLWAYS by the way....).
By the way in searching other  mentions of this word in the bible I found
it 9 times, it sounds sometimes as a  location more than a familly name like
"the people from the location immer",  might it be possible too?
Thank you for you help
Vincent IMMER

Dear Vincent:

Being of Swiss origin, perhaps IMMER is a corruption of IMKER, which  means
beekeeper.
