“For this reason the third, aspectual view is to be preferred.” (Page 323)

“In essence, in the imperfective aspect (present or imperfective tense-form), the author depicts the action as ongoing; in the perfective aspect (aorist tense-form), the author depicts the action as a whole; and in the stative aspect (perfect or pluperfect tense-forms), the author depicts some preceding action or state as particularly relevant to the present context.” (Page 230)

“The accusative case is the case of limitation or extension, delimiting the action of a verb. The accusative ‘measures an idea as to its content, scope, [or] direction.’” (Page 62)

“The cognate accusative of the direct object is aligned with the verb either with regard to the root of the word or with regard to the idea conveyed.” (Page 64)

“Verbal aspect refers to the manner in which verbs are used to view an action or state” (Page 229)
