“…The 3pl form in -ús-an, in particular, which has been the starting point of the process of extension of the suffix to the other forms of the paradigm of the imperfect, may have been in use as the only form in the paradigm of the imperfect showing this type of formation even in the Peloponnese, as is the case in other parts of the Greek-speaking world, e.g. Cyprus Chíos and Kárpathos (Thumb 1910: 166, Triantafyllidis 1936, Kalabria (Karanastasis 1997: 87, 89), and Mani (Kassis 1982 (vol. A):67).…”

The present paper treats the different types of formation and the inflectional patterns of the active imperfect of the verbs that in traditional grammar are known as verbs of the ‘2nd conjugation’ in the Peloponnesian varieties of Modern Greek (except Tsakonian and Maniot), mainly from a diachronic point of view. A reconstruction of the processes that led to the current situation is attempted and directions for further possible changes are suggested. The diachrony of the morphology of the imperfect of the ‘2nd conjugation’ in the Peloponnesian varieties involves developments such as morphologization of a phonological process and the evolution of number-oriented allomorphy at the level of aspectual markers, while at the same time offering interesting insights into the mechanisms and scope of morphological changes and the morphological structure of the Modern Greek verb. These developments can also offer important evidence for the process of dialectal differentiation of Medieval/‘Early Modern’ Greek.
