 Philip,
 
 I was simply offering some suggestions. I do not claim to understand how the
 H.P. functions.  Did you read the book I suggested?
 
 
  (I am

 The function of the "waw-consecutive" is clear. An "explanation" of its
 genesis is not at all clear, but neither is it necessary for descriptive
 grammar.
