Why do you say 'reused', Karl? it's a fundamental part of the the yiqtol form.
I didn’t mean it in the sense of a used car.
When the main use of a form is to indicate one meaning, I merely used the term “reused” to indicate that it is used for other meanings as well. I didn’t want to limit its use to only one usage when Biblical Hebrew used it for more than one usage.
In Arabic there are subjunctive and indicative forms, yaqtala as against the yaqtalu, and I think this probably held in early Canaanite. But these two forms are conjoined in Hebrew due to loss of final vowels. So it's an inherent function.John Leake
