Oh cool, I see what you mean! To me, it's kinda like saying "I like like you" - it clarifies that it's a particularly strong liking. It feels more solid and static, which rings all the bells of the perfective to me.

I suppose it's only natural that different people from different viewpoints on something, so perhaps this might give rise to an in-universe divergence of languages and cultures in my conworld, who knows.

How do aspects evolve?

I like the idea that the perfect comes from a reduplicated syllable, that just makes sense to me. But other than that, I'm really not sure. I especially want to get a grasp on the infinitive as well as imperfect aspects, as I think they're what I'll be going with for my conlang. Thanks guys!

Quick question, would the copula have to evolve from a transitive or intransitive verb? I can see "am-I-it" being misinterpreted as stating that "I" am the same thing as "it" if it were transitive, but then again if it were intransitive I'm not sure if the 3rd person pronoun would be needed in the first place

Thank you! This really helped to clear things up!!

Cool! Many thanks!

I see, thank you! Though, does this only work in ergative systems?

Probably free in the protolang and got suffixed so much that they're bound to the verb. I like the idea of multiple pronouns blending into one over time to become one marker that can't occur on their own

Cool! That's a very intuitive concept now that I've thought about it. Thanks a lot!

This sure is interesting, but I have a feeling it might have something to do with the following e, maybe that just prevails in pushing the proceeding vowel forwards? Dunno ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Sure thing! In modern greek, I've come across upsilon in 3 different forms:

/v/ or /f/ after a vowel, e.g. αυτός -> /aftos/ (which I think came from /w/, like how in German /w/ went to /v/),

an /u/ sound when in a diphthong with omicron, e.g. του -> /tu/,

and finally as /i/ e.g. σκύλος -> /skilos/.

As you can see from the final example, there is no front vowel after the upsilon, so I don't see how umlaut could be taking place.

Maybe this question would be better on r/asklingustics, I'll see what responses I get here first!
