Zoom My lady and I went out for dinner Friday night and it ended up being much more food, and much later, than I ever should have thought of eating. So I was up until 3:00am and to pass the time, I started doing summaries of G-Stem verb forms, scribbling an English translation for each and then the cuneiform.  Because I spend a fair portion of my work day waiting around for my cases to be called — District and Superior Court in North Carolina are disorganized and there’s generally a lot of wasted down time — this is usually the way I pass at least part of that. In case you were wondering, the order down the side is Durative, Preterite, Perfect, Imperative, Precative, Prohibitive, Vetitive, the Infinitive, the Participle, and the root of the Verbal Adjective.
