Thanks for all the contributions on this subject. In spite of the rather
confusing terminology - all those kill and be killed verbs - it has been
informative of linguistic issues and the disagreements.
I found a useful paper at

I find it curious, that the form of the waw conversive, or not, is contained
in the vowel markings and a dagesh forte.
Does the dagesh occur in the original or is it also a Masoretic invention?
