Dear Rolf,
First, I understand the necessity of narrowing ones' topic to a manageable
corpus, but what you've done by working within what you've already *labeled*
as prophetic skews your data. I'm asking you to look at the larger corpus,
not just a small part which <i/may/> be *elevated* or *irregular* in some
way (as in poetry...but not assuming that they are) , that is develop a
baseline theory of tense (beyond your genre). Now, you may have done this,
but to put your view in context, you would need to explain your findings,
(which may take b-hebrew full circle...)
Now, if we review the b-hebrew archives where this has been discussed in
detail, we see this done ad nauseum by men that are better than I ;)
