Hirathic: Difference between revisions

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., {{c|εχσειμι}} (''ekseimmi'') is perfective, derived from the union of the preposition {{c|εχς}} ‘out’ and {{c|ειμι}} ‘I go’, an imperfective verb, while the verb {{c|αθακαουθωμι}} (''āthākā́outhōmi'') ‘I listen anew, repeatedly’ is imperfective, a situation not unlike the modern Slavic verbal system.
