 Their forms have become more similar to each other due to analogy.
-Knench maintains a distinction between independent and dependent forms for finite verbs, like Old Irish. The independent forms come from the Ancient Knench waw-consecutive. Using a preverb such as ''lu'' 'not' or ''mur'' 'if' requires the dependent form. Dependent past forms and future forms look similar to independent future forms and past forms, but can be a little different since they may lack ''w-'' or ''u-''.
+Knench maintains a distinction between independent and dependent forms for finite verbs, like Old Irish. The independent forms come from the Ancient Knench waw-consecutive. Using a preverb such as ''lu'' 'not', ''xi'' 'that', or ''śə'' '(emphatic preverb, from the infinitive absolute *3aśū of *3aśō 'to do')' requires the dependent form. Dependent past forms and future forms look similar to independent future forms and past forms, but can be a little different since they may lack ''w-'' or ''u-''.
 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.
