He asked for some examples. He deserves an answer.

Hallo Karl, I am interested if you might possibly take a few
moments to give me some examples of where your reading was
inconsistent with what you had learned? Thankyou.

First, I noticed that some words were used in ways that indicated
that their meanings as given in dictionaries didn’t seem accurate.
It was more often a nuance than a full meaning, but sometimes the
latter as well. Part of that is also how I understand words are
used which is different from how some other lexicographers
understand how words are used. My understanding is based on action
and the range where that action can be applied, theirs more often
on form and affect.
I was taught two different patterns of verbal use: one where the
different conjugations referred to tense, which was the main
understanding at the time of Gesenius and Davidson, hence their use
of “ preterite” and “perfect” and “future”; secondly that they
referred to aspect; neither turn out to be accurate.
There is a pattern of usage for the conjugations, but that pattern
doesn’t fit tense, aspect nor mood.
