==== Aspect-tense nouns ====
==== Aspect-tense nouns ====
Each verb formally has four aspect-tense nouns: Aorist present, aorist past, aorist future and perfect.
These combine with inflectional endings to make various tense-aspect-person-number combinations, which can then be augmented with further mood and voice suffixes.
Only the aorist present noun (known simply as the "verbal noun") and the perfect noun are actually used independently. The aorist past and future nouns are only used as inflectional roots.
