I tried to find your (slightly different) definition of the imperfective
aspect in the most recent work of yours I have, your paper entitled, "The
verbal system of classical Hebrew, an attempt to distinguish between
pragmatic and semantic factors," dated 6.14.04. If I missed it somehow,
could you point me to the page reference? If it is not defined in the paper,
could you offer your definition here?
