Dear Peter,Rolf, unfortunately I don't have the Bible study tools to prove this, but
Every Thursday and Friday I am fully occupied at the University. After
finishing my schedule I rceived your post, and I have to give a comment:
You are wrong, and Karl is right. The WEYIQTOL and the WAYYIQTOL cannot
be distinguished in unpointed texts, since both can be apocopated. If you
do not accept this, please give one single example of where they are
distinct.
I think you will find that the large majority of WAYYIQTOLs which can be
apocopated are apocopated, whereas the majority of WEYIQTOLS which can be
apocopated, except for those with jussive meaning, are NOT apocopated. But
I accept that there are exceptions to this rule.
If you, or anyone, has any statistics relevant to this, I would be
interested to see them.
