I assume that, using a database like the BHS morph, it would be
necessary to look for a qatal form not preceded by waw that is
preceded by either rebia, atnach or soph pasuq. That's assuming
the database codes any of the accents...do you have a few
examples of the type you describe? If so can you drop the refs to
me off-list?
