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 are formally identical to independent future forms and past forms, respectively, except forms of ''juð'' 'to be' | Knench maintains a distinction between independent and dependent forms for finite verbs, like Old Irish.

Even verbs with finite forms are defective verbs, since finite forms are always perfective (except forms of ''juð'').
