<DIV>Hello, I have a question concerning the imperfect active
indicative 3rd plural. I was looking back at my first year text (Machen)
and he says that the secondary ending of the imperfect active can be SAN as well
as ON. If SAN can be used, how would you be able to distinguish between
the imperfect and the aorist 3rd plural? Would there be some sort of stem
change since both are built on the present stem? If there is a stem
change, like that of a liquid, would it then be considered a second aorist with
a first aorist ending? My second year professor tells me that he has not
seen an imperfect with a SAN ending in the new testament, but i was curious
about other literature and if so, how do you know whether it is imperfect
or aorist? </DIV></BODY></HTML>
