Hi Rolf,
There is consistency: qatal occurs with "yesterday" and never with
"tomorrow" and yiqtol occurs with "tomorrow" and never with "yesterday".
This is true if and only if wayyiqtol = qatal and weqatal = yiqtol. If
these equalities are not accurate, then your statement above is not
accurate.
cf. Genesis 31:42, Micah 2:8 (pilel yiqtol with yesterday), Judges
19:9 and the verses that Rolf mentioned.
Could you be putting too much emphasis on these adverbs?
BTW, the choice of conjugations need not be a choice between two or
four: weqatal may not be a separate grammaticalised verb different from
qatal as Cook and Garr argue. Thus three may be an option also (leaving
aside jussive etc).
Regards,
David Kummerow.
Doesn't your final paragraph contradict your claim?
Karl W. Randolph.
