Notes

  • Proximal imperfect

    'Proximal imperfect' is our rendering of the French label 'imparfait proche'. The relevant forms express an action or state which held until 'recently'. For further clarification, see Aub-Büscher (1962:80f.). The origin of this form is unclear to us. Possibly, the formative -o:r which characterizes it derives from a temporal adverb 'or', meaning '(just) now'.
