I don't mind following a discussion, but it would be nice if it were kept
to Biblical Hebrew.
the YIQTOL form is [yomar] not [yOmer (ta`am mil`el)]. The yiqtol form
is used in hefseq ("pause"), but otherwise the forms are different.

Most people use the MT as the base for Biblical Hebrew. However,
if someone doesn't like the MT, that is fine too. They can use reconstructed
(mid/early/pre) First Temple forms and can mark them with a (*).
*yomar.
Then everyone has the same scorecard. And of course, a reconstructed
form is unattested and therefore open to debate, but at least everyone knows
what someone has said, and that apples are being compared with apples.
