Hirathic has three primary time distinctions: the present ({{sc|pres}}), the past ({{sc|past}}), and the future ({{sc|fut}}). While the present and the past are inherited straight from Proto-Indo-European, the origin of the future tense, formed by affixing '''-s''' to the stem, is probably a shared innovation from Late PIE, cf. Latin [[wiktionary:faxo|faxo]]. | Hirathic has three primary time distinctions: the present ({{sc|pres}}), the past ({{sc|past}}), and the future ({{sc|fut}}).

Verbs are innately either perfect ({{sc|perf}}) or imperfective({{sc|ipfv}}) in aspect. To switch between these two aspects, most verbs demand a suffixation or a stem vowel change. Some verbs that have a bound preposition usually belong to a specific aspect, e.g., {{ | Verbs are innately either perfect ({{sc|perf}}) or imperfective({{sc|ipfv}}) in aspect. To switch between these two aspects, most verbs demand a suffixation or a stem vowel change. Some verbs that have a bound preposition usually belong to a specific aspect, e.g., {{term|εχσειμι}} (''ekseimmi'') is perfective, derived from the union of the preposition {{term|εχς}} ‘out’ and {{term|ειμι}} ‘I go’, an imperfective verb, while the verb {{term|αθακαουθωμι}} (''āthākā́outhōmi'') ‘I listen anew, repeatedly’ is imperfective, a situation not unlike the modern Slavic verbal system. | ||
