As a result of unification one marker (i) is spread in Chan; it is<br />

added to I-II person <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>m: b-zum-i, zum-i, zum-u... (I. Kavtaradze, 1973, p.<br />

The situation in Khevsurian and Ingilo (occurrence of -a in the 3 rd<br />

person) is identical with that of Chan: a-v-i-ğ-i, a-i-ğ-i, a-i-ğ-a; ga-v-i-gi,<br />

ga-i-g- i, ga-i-g-a, ... (cf.: the A<strong>or</strong>ist screeve is <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>med by suffix -e in<br />

Aliabatian: vican-e, mamec-e, ċevel-e, etc.).<br />

The Svan dialects <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>m the A<strong>or</strong>ist screeve by suffix -e and in the<br />

<strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>m of the stem. There is no suffix -e in the 1st-2nd person singular,<br />

however, hist<strong>or</strong>ically it it had to be present in all persons and numbers.<br />

Loss of -e is explained by phonetic fact<strong>or</strong>s:<br />

1. Upper Svan: ot-zäw < *atw-a-zaw-e *da-v-a-zav-e"<br />

2. at-zäw < * at-a-zaw-e *da-h-a-zav-e"<br />

3. ad-zäw
