Randall:

Look at the title of this thread, it is not about yiqtols, but about
participles. So why are you trying to change the subject?

As for content, this is a continuation of my message of
https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/b-hebrew/2009-June/038888.html  and other
messages of the thread in June 2009 on how Biblical Hebrew describes present
actions in declarative sentences.

Do you want to reopen that thread?

Karl W. Randolph.
