The imperfect is formed by adding a "tense marker" that is known as "imperfect marker" or "augment" and is represented by an '''e-''' which is added to the verb root as it appears in the present tense. If the root already begins with this vowel, it is substituted for '''y-'''. SOme verbs underwent some changes like syncopes or consonantal modifications. | |||
The e-pattern verbs have got the following endings: ''-on'', ''-es'', ''-e'', ''-en'', ''-ech'', ''-on''; whereas the u-pattern verbs have got the endings: ''-un'', ''-ys'', ''-y'', ''-un'', ''-ych'', ''-un'', which correspond in all persons - except for the 1st singular and the 3rd plural - to the present forms. | |||
