    Reduplication is a hallmark of the perfect aspect system in both Latin and Ancient Greek, but some Ancient Greek verbs reduplicate the root in the progressive tenses. Reduplication can cause a lot of sound changes, including loss of aspiration, or loss of a vowel (γεν into γν in the case of γίγνομαι).

    One formation that was relatively productive for forming imperfective verbs, but especially stative verbs, was reduplication, in which the initial consonants of the root were duplicated. Another notable way of forming imperfective verbs was the nasal infix , which was inserted within the root itself rather than affixed to it.

    Two verbs, -nequi and *-quiya, select an embedded verb in the future singular. The verb nequi may be used independently with the meaning 'to need' or 'to want', and when it embeds a future verb, it may mean 'to want to do' or 'to be about to', 'to be on the verge of', [2]: 290 e.g. niquitta ' I see it ' — niquittaznequi ' I wish to see it '

  9. Aorist (Ancient Greek) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aorist_(Ancient_Greek)

    A verb may have either a first aorist or a second aorist: the distinction is like that between weak (try, tried) and strong verbs (write, wrote) in English.But the distinction can be better described by considering the second aorist as showing the actual verb stem when the present has a morph to designate present stem, like -σκ-, or reduplication with ι as in δίδωμι.
