In Khevsurian the only suffix -a is used to <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>m the Subjunctive<br />

screeves: čeč-d-a-s "that s/he were combing", ċer-d-a-s "that s/he were<br />

writing"… in the 1st-2nd person singular there is a>ĭ/ŭ:<br />

v-čeč-d-a/ŭ/ĭ "that i were combing" v-čeč-d-a-t "that we were combing"<br />

čeč-d-a/ŭ/ĭ "that you were combing" čeč-d-a-t "that you were combing"<br />

čeč-d-a-s "that s/he were combing" čeč-d-a-n "that they were combing"<br />

(A. Chincharauli, 1960).<br />

The situation in Chan is identical with that of the Khevsurian;<br />

there is the only -a suffix <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> subjunctive in Chan:<br />

p’-ĉar-um-ţ-a "that I were writing" p’-ĉar-um-ţ-a-t "that we were writing"<br />

ĉar-um-ţ-a "that you were writing" ĉar-um-ţ-a-t "that you were writing"<br />

ĉar-um-ţ-a-s "that s/he were writing" ĉar-um-ţ-a-n "that they were writing"<br />

-a, -e marks are used to <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>m present and future subjunctives<br />

(subjunctive I) in Megrelian. -a/-e marks occur in parallel in the 1st-2nd<br />

person, singular. The 3rd person singular and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd persons<br />

in plural employ suffix -a (I. Kipshidze, 1914, pp. 065-067; Arn.<br />

Chikobava, 1936, p.140):<br />

v/p’-ĉar-un-d-a/e "that I were writing" v/p’-ĉar-un-d-a-t "that we were writing"<br />

ĉar-un-d-a/e "that you were writing" ĉar-un-d-a-t "that you were writing"<br />

ĉar-un-d-a-s "that s/he were writing" ĉar-un-d-an "that they were writing"<br />

Acc<strong>or</strong>ding to Arn. Chikobava, -a of the subjunctive naturally c<strong>or</strong>responds<br />

to suffix -e which is the main <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mant of subjunctive in Ge<strong>or</strong>gian…<br />

-ee must be a phonetically simplified auxiliary w<strong>or</strong>d ere "that"<br />

(Arn. Chikobava, 1936, pp. 139-140). Arn. Chikobava’s view is shared<br />

by G. Rogava (1945, p. 647). Acc<strong>or</strong>ding to G. Kartozia’s arguments, -e<br />

<strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms are <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>med by adding conjunction ini to -a <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms. In this case, the<br />

following phonetic process is meant: bĉarunda-ini>bĉarundeini><br />

bĉarundeeni//bĉarundēni (G. Kartozia, 1958, p. 231).<br />

In Svan dialects the following suffixes occur as <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mants in<br />

the Subjunctive I: -ēd, -dēd (Balszemoan), -ade, -ide, (Balskvemoan),<br />

-de, -ŭde (Balskvemoan, the Lower Svan).<br />

The the Subjunctive 1 template is as follows: past imperfect stem<br />

+ e. markers that inc<strong>or</strong>p<strong>or</strong>ate d could be divided into: -d (past imperfect<br />

<strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mant) + -e (subjunctive marker). Suffix -e is present (it is often<br />

elided in Balszemoan) in: Ushgulian: a-mār-ēd-e-s, Balskvemoan: a-<br />
