around, ie, how can so-called primarily aspect marking forms be used for
both aspects? I say this because yiqtol, which is supposedly
imperfective aspect, can be used perfectively (eg Gen 18:11) and qatal,
which is supposedly perfective aspect, can be used imperfectively (eg
Gen 38:9; Num 11:8; 21:9; Jud 2:18; 6:3; 2 Kgs 18:4). It is these types
of issues which I have yet to see an aspectual analysis tackle. (I would
love to be proved wrong on this and be pointed to the relevant
literature.)
