Dear list,

 

if we perceived a text comprising only of one word, e.g. וַיֹּ֙אמֶר , to which time sphere would we sort the proposition, and why would we do so?


We would not know because this is not a grammaticalization for any time sphere. It could be present, it could be future, without further context, there’s no way to tell.
