==Greek== In [[Homer]] and [[Herodotus]], there is a past frequentative, usually called "past iterative", with an additional -sk- suffix before the endings.<ref>Greek Grammar, par. 495: iterative imperfects and aorists.</ref> *{{LSJ|e)/xw|ékhe-sk-on}} "I used to have" (imperfect ''ékh-on'') The same suffix is used in [[inchoative verb]]s in both [[Ancient Greek]] and [[Latin]]. The infix may occur in the forms -σκ-, -ασκ-, and -εσκ-. Homer regularly omits the augment. The iterative occurs most often in the imperfect, but also in the aorist.
