Joseph,

The major problem with your suggestion about Qatal and weQatal is that it 
doesn't really work. WeQatal often does NOT refer to the future (however 
defined). You also need to consider that for all intents and purposes, the 
Qatal and weQatal are actually the same verb form. So, there must be 
something underlying both of them.
