George, Rolf, et al,

First, thank you all for this discussion.

Second, if George is correct regarding the wayyiqtol in narrative is actually a "present tense" or "live action" verb, then how does one explain its use in poetic and prophetic texts?

Third, if Rolf is correct about the wayyiqtol developing from Medieval use in synagogues, then is there really such a thing as a "wayyiqtol" since it appears that it developed from waw + yiqtol with a doubling of the yodh?

Fourth, it appears that the DSS would have more influence on what is determined to be Hebrew Grammar?
