this verb does not follow a contracting pe-yud/vav pattern with the
retracted accent like vayyEshev. 
most vayyiqtol's do not contract accents. 
cf. other p"y:    vayyirAsh and vayyiqAr. 
this verb yatsaq is highly irregular (multiple, dialectical/idiolectical
forms), notice yeHezq'l 24.3 where the imperative is yetsoq !, and then
again 2K4.41 tsaq !  

when doing 'immersion' teaching i use yetsoq, yitsqi, yitsqu, yitsOqna. 
gotta choose a form and this feels best, though both bring smiles from
those here in jerusalem who listen in.
