Presentive

The so-called presentive is reinterpreted as a continuous action or state, again regardless of time reference. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In other words, rather than reconstructing a separate voice, we might simply place the middle in a different aspectual category under the subjective distinct from the *r-less "proto-perfect" and further treat it as the marked "presentive" form of the subjective. ❋ Unknown (2009)

So either lengthening was avoided in *-as meaning that Jens is correct and there was a seperate phoneme *-z contrasting with *-s, at least briefly, or lengthening differences between "presentive" and "past" were as far as it went before the 2ps past in *-as evolved to *-es rather than expected **-os to match the presentive ending during Schwa Merger. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The first word is the relative pronoun ipa meaning '(he/she) who' or '(it) which', the second is the presentive form of am 'to be', and the third is an adverb meaning 'forth' or 'ahead'. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Evidently he's been taking advantage of my Etruscan dictionary where I equate a Proto-Etruscan *tau with 'to see, to behold' (note the presentive form tva '(he/she) sees; (it) is shown' is attested in TLE 98, 170 and 399) and I'm flattered. ❋ Unknown (2010)

We need only compare the resulting hi-class presentive *CóC-e-i with a would-be preterite **CóC-e to understand that the change certainly helped to better phonetically distinguish between two almost homophonous forms. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Quite simply because it's really not a strictly hic-et-nunc or presentive marker, even by current consensus of IEists. ❋ Unknown (2009)

So instead, I would like to explore the possibility that it is to the contrary the reduplicated perfect that dates to the Mid IE MIE stage before the Syncope rule while i-reduplication seen in the presentive forms is a much later feature of Indo-European conjugation. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The presentive *-es-i provides the means to revert back to voicelessness. ❋ Unknown (2008)

For example, many verbs were simply borrowed from the presentive form c.f. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The true presentive forms would have had lengthened grade and so Narten presents like *stēuti are presumably leftovers from the days of yore. ❋ Unknown (2008)

I'm forced to appeal to analogy between 3ps presentive *-ti and word-final *-t used for pasts and aorists, whereas the inanimate *-d never occurs word-internally. ❋ Unknown (2008)

It is an infinitive not marked with presentive -a or preterite -e and probably functions more like an adjective, either modifying the preceding noun or modifying the entire list of nouns. ❋ Unknown (2007)

On quite a different note, but I'm curious what you think of it; the presentive suffixes. ❋ Unknown (2007)
