Apart from synthetic <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mation of bipersonal intransitive verbs<br />

there are <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms inc<strong>or</strong>p<strong>or</strong>ating the auxiliary verbs. Two types are encountered:<br />

1. based on masdar, auxiliary verb is attested instead of suffix -od: viqav,<br />

iqav, iqo: hqol-iqo, sjobneb-iqo, damkarg-ciqo, šesĵleb-iqos…<br />

2. based on passive participle to which the same auxiliary verb is added:<br />

čamovrčenil-iqav, miaħloebul-iqvnen… Similar <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms are frequent in Eastern<br />

dialects.<br />

From parallel <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mation of bipersonal intransitive verbs in Pluperfect<br />

the -od <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms dominate the modern literary language. The <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms<br />

of descriptive <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mation are regarded as dialectal <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mation.<br />

In Khevsurian and Mokhevian all verbs involve the auxiliary<br />

verbs: Khevsurian: ħqvan-iqva, hkon-iqo, šamasčvev-iqo… mokhevian: gastetreb-iqo,<br />

gaħpuĉeb-iqo, masċoneb-iqo…<br />

F<strong>or</strong>mation of the Megrelian bipersonal intransitive verb is synthetical:<br />

Pluperfect repeats the Imperfect of passive verb: dabadebu-d-u<br />

"s/he had been b<strong>or</strong>n [to him/her]", šeħvalamu-d-u "s/he had met<br />

[him/her]", goĉqoladu-d-u "s/he had <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>gotten [him/her/it]", etc.<br />

Also, in Svan the <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms of intransitive verbs generally follow the<br />

transitive verbs; the main difference is only created by reduction of vowel<br />

prefixes (V. Topuria, 1967, pp. 169-170).<br />

c) in Old Ge<strong>or</strong>gian the unipersonal verbs are <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>med only descriptively:<br />

stem of the passive participle of conjugated verb + A<strong>or</strong>ist stem of<br />

the verb qopa "be": the auxiliary verb is conjugated, no personal markers<br />

are attached to the participle: ċarsrul viqav, ċarsrul iqav, ċarsrul<br />

iqo...<br />

The <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>mation principle in modern Ge<strong>or</strong>gian is the same. The difference<br />

is that the prefix v- has removed from the auxiliary verb and has<br />

been placed next to the preverb, while the auxiliary verb has merged<br />

with the participle stem: ċa-v-sul-iqavi, ċa-sul-iqavi, ċa-sul-iqo...<br />

In Khevsurian all unipersonal verbs <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>m pluperfect by auxiliary<br />

verb iqo "was": ċerebul -iqva, čamasul-iqo, sĵineb -iqva, zdeb-iqva,<br />

šamamdgar-iqva…<br />

The Megrelian-Chan unipersonal verbs are based on the Perfect<br />

<strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>m and extension -d is attached to them: do ĉvele -d-u "it had been<br />

burnt"…<br />
