The | Conservative dialects of Knench maintain a distinction between independent and dependent forms for finite verbs, like Old Irish. The independent forms come from the Ancient Knench waw-consecutive. They have become more similar to each other due to analogy. Using a preverb such as ''lu'' 'not' or ''mur'' 'if' requires the dependent form, listed in a separate table from the independent forms. | ||
Even verbs with finite forms are defective verbs, since finite forms are always perfective (except forms of ''juð''). To express the imperfective with these verbs, you still have to use the copula + bə + VN construction. The negator ''lu'' only negates finite verbs. | Even verbs with finite forms are defective verbs, since finite forms are always perfective (except forms of ''juð'').
