The imperfect forms are often substituted with an analytic construction: ''"bē"'' + infinitive — ''bē skeistei'' “he/she was reading”. The imperfect forms of athematic and "e"-stem verbs have zero-ablaut in their roots: ''sk'''i'''tēwā'' “we two were reading” but ''sk'''ei'''twā'' “we two are reading”. | |||
