p’-ĉar-um-ţ-i "I was writing" p’-ĉar-um-ţ-i-t "we were wriing"<br />

-d is a main <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mant of imperfect in Svan dialects; it is mainly<br />

present in verbs with final -i: a-ĥn-i-d-a "he was plowing"… in the 1 st<br />

and 2 nd<br />

persons -äs (Balszemoan, Lentekhian; ħq -a-ĥan-d-äs "I was<br />

plowing"), and -äsgw (Bechoan: ħw-a-ĥn-id-äsgw) elements are added<br />

to d:<br />

ħw-a-ħţ-äw-d-äs (*ħwaħaţ-äw-i+däs) "I was painting" l-a-ħţ-äw-da-d "we were painting"<br />

ħw-a-ħţäw-da-d "we were painting"<br />

ħ-a-ħţ-äw-d-äs "you were painting" ħ-a-ħţ-äw-da-d "you were painting"<br />

a-ħţ-äw-d-a "s/he was painting" a-ħţ-äw-da-ħ "they were painting".<br />

b) suffix -i and extension -od/-d are added to intransitive verbs in<br />

imperfect screeve. -d occurs in "love"-type verbs: uqvar-d-a "s/he<br />

loved", sĵul-d-a "s/he hated", etc. -od occurs in passive <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms: tbeb-od-a<br />

"s/he was getting warm", jdeb-od-a "s/he was taking a seat", etc.<br />

cf.: In Old Ge<strong>or</strong>gian the verbs with the -od extension have suffix<br />

-e as a screeve marker in 1st-2nd person (singular and plural) in imperfect:<br />

v-ţir-od-e, s- ţir-od-e… the archaic state is preserved in Tushian:<br />

vap‘ireb-d-e "I was going to", ap’ireb-d-e "you were going to".<br />

-d extension is also present in intransitive verbs: ţib-u-d-u "s/he<br />

was getting warm", ĉar -u-d-u "it was written", etc. (I. Kipshidze, 1914,<br />

pp. 071-072; Arn. Chikobava, 1937, p. 112; 1948, p. 107; G. Rogava, 1954, p.<br />

82; G. Machavariani, 1959; K. Danelia, 1976, p. 169-170; R. Sherozia, 1981, p.<br />

203).<br />

-d extension also occurs in imperfect in the Svan dialects: ħw-aqur-d<br />

"I was lying", x-a-qur-d "you were lying", a-qur-d-a "he was lying"...<br />

Present subjunctive is <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>med by adding the relevant suffix to<br />

the imperfect stem. The <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mation is common <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> all types of verbs. In<br />

literary Ge<strong>or</strong>gian the present subjunctive screeve is <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>med by adding<br />

the only suffix -e: v-ċer-d-e, v-mal-av-d-e, v-tb-eb-od-e, v-i-jd-e… cf.:<br />

the old Ge<strong>or</strong>gian: -e is always used in <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms with -d extension, while<br />

suffix -i is applied in <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms with –od suffix (A. Shanidze, 1927, p. 117-<br />

118; A. Shanidze, 1945, p. 835-844).<br />

There is a m<strong>or</strong>e <strong>or</strong> less different situation in dialects in terms of<br />

<strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mation the Subjunctive screeves:<br />
