Acerca de や否や

や否(いな)や, like か否(いな)か, is a grammar pattern that makes use of 否(いな) 'no', an interjection. However, unlike the pairing with the adverbial particle か 'or' when stating 'whether or not (A)', the pairing of 否(いな) with や in its role as a conjunction particle has the meaning of 'as soon as (A)', or 'no sooner than (A)'. Remembering that や simply highlights the word before it is not being limited to that, the literal meaning of や否(いな)や is 'at a point when neither (A) or not (A) could be determined, (B)'.

や否(いな)や will be used after verbs in their dictionary form.

や否(いな)や is a formal expression that will generally be used when (B) is something that happens spontaneously, or is surprising.

Caution

As や itself carries the 'not limited to' meaning, it is also possible to see this structure with the 否(いな)や part omitted. In these situations, the meaning will not change at all. や in this case behaves similarly to か when presenting a question in the middle of a sentence, and sounds like 'when not certain that (A), (B)'.
