Editing Phrygian language (section)

=== Verbs ===
Due to the limited textual material, the [[Grammatical conjugation|conjugation]] of Phrygian verbs can only be determined very incompletely. However, it is clear that it closely resembles the [[Ancient Greek]] verbal system. Three [[Grammatical tense|tenses]] are known: [[Present tense|present]], [[aorist]] (with [[Augment (Indo-European)|augment]] and ''-s-'' infix), and [[Perfect (grammar)|perfect]]. [[Future tense|Future]] forms have not yet been discovered. Neither has a [[pluperfect]]; a few forms may be an [[imperfect]]. There are two [[voice (grammar)|voices]], [[Active voice|active]] and [[mediopassive]]. As to [[mood (grammar)|mood]], [[indicative]] and [[Imperative mood|imperative]] are clearly documented, but suspected [[subjunctive]] forms and an [[optative]] (the latter with typical ''-oi-'' infix) need confirmation. [[Participle]]s are present, most of them perfect passive forms with [[reduplication]] and ending in ''-menos''. [[Infinitive]]s are not known. As to [[person (grammar)|person]] and [[number (grammar)|number]], most [[finite verb|finite forms]] are 3rd person singular, a few 3rd person plural, and only very few 1st person singular.

The [[Augment (Indo-European)|augment]] Phrygian seems to exhibit, is like [[Ancient Greek language|Greek]], [[Indo-Iranian languages|Indo-Iranian]], and [[Armenian language|Armenian]]; cf. {{lang|xpg|eberet}}, probably corresponding to [[Proto-Indo-European]] ''{{lang|ine-x-proto|*e-bher-e-t}}'' (''{{langx|grc|épʰere}}'' with loss of the final ''t'', ''{{langx|sa|ábharat}})'', although comparison to examples like ''ios{{nbsp}}... addaket'' 'who does{{nbsp}}... to', which is not a past tense form (perhaps [[subjunctive]]), shows that ''-et'' may be from the [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] (PIE) primary ending {{lang|ine-x-proto|*-eti}}.
