... I argue, and this cannot be countered, that in the unpointed text only two conjugations can be seen, the prefix-forms and the suffix-forms. ...
On the contrary, I have countered this by providing clear evidence that for lamed-he verbs there are in the unpointed text two different prefix forms, one apocopated and always preceded with vav and the other not apocopated, which are distinct (but occasionally confused) at least in the 3rd person singular. And that is quite apart from the jussive. I await your response to my evidence for this, posted here on 10th March.
