Verbal roots were inherently either imperfective or perfective. To form a verb from the root's own aspect, verb endings were attached directly to the root, either with or without a thematic vowel.

[248] Freyja is possibly worshipped under the name Perun in southern Slavic-speaking areas. [249] In Albanian she is Perendi, Christianized as St. Prendi. J.
Partly for these reasons, Anthony concludes that Bronze Age Caucasus groups such as the Maykop "played only a minor role, if any, in the formation of Yamnaya ancestry."
