Rather off the top of my head, I would say that the features of
WAYYIQTOL which we have mentioned come to the fore as follows:
+past usually, not always especially where context is future
+perfective almost always, perhaps always (?)
+realis almost always, perhaps always (?)
-dependence not quite sure what you mean by this one
-subordination I'd need to look more closely at this one
and if for now we allow a feature from a different level:
+sequential usually, except in hendiadys and some special cases
I would also suggest a small secondary focus made up of cases in which
WAYYIQTOL is actually a mis-pointing of WEYIQTOL.

OK, assuming we're on level ground there, then, and working within
Huovila's theory, which features do you see coming to the fore in
BH usage of the wayyiqtol?
