...Thank you, Rolf. But there seems to be something wrong with your totals. I found 841 apocopated YIQTOLs and WEYIQTOLs together, but your total is only 372. I also found 499 which are marked as "jussive form" (although I am not sure why some are "apocopated" but not "jussive form"), and 495 which are marked as both "apocopated" and "jussive form". So where is the big difference?
It would also be interesting to see how well the apocopation of WEYIQTOLs correlates with a jussive (modal) sense. There is quite a strong correlation, although far from a perfect one, with all YIQTOLs, and I would expect WEYIQTOLs to match.
Of the 155 apocopated WEYIQTOLs I analyze 42 (27.1 %) as indicative, and 113 (72.9) as modal. As for the 217 apocopated YIQTOLs I analyze 12 (5.5 %) as indicative.
