The Biblical Hebrew distinction between waw-preterite and perfect, and waw-stative and future, became a purely syntactic one: The waw-consecutive is used as the default form, and the non-waw forms are used when pre-verbal particle is attached (such as ''lō'' 'not', ''him'' 'if', ''ha-'' 'question particle', ''hinni'' 'but'). This is similar to Old Irish verbal allomorphy between independent and dependent forms. | The Biblical Hebrew distinction between waw-preterite and perfect, and waw-stative and future, became a purely syntactic one: The waw-consecutive is used as the default form, and the non-waw forms are used when pre-verbal particle is attached (such as ''lō'' 'not', ''him'' 'if', ''ha-'' 'question particle', ''hinni'' 'but').
