All contexts were examined in terms of lexical and grammatical semantics, pragmatical features and distribution of usages. The study investigates to what extent the nasal imperfects compete with the corresponding aorists and outlines the patterns of correlation between the preterits. The Himeric data is compared to the attestations in the works of Herodotus, Plato and Apollonius of Rhodes. It is observed that the competition between the forms tends to lower over time and the verbal paradigm is leveled by employing only one type of telic preterite.

δειδίσκ-/δεδίσκ-, which are listed in dictionaries as homonymic derivatives
from the verbs δειδίσκομαι ‘greet; show’ and δειδίσσομαι ‘fear, frighten’.
A thorough study of contexts allows to specify more precisely the
semantics of δειδίσκομαι and compare it with the slavic verb *dvigati ‘lift,
raise; move’. Based on the current suggestions on the etymology of PIE
*dwey- ‘fear’ and slav. *dvigati from the PIE numeral *duwo ‘two’ it is
proposed that the two Greek verbs might share a common origin.
From the morphological point of view tracing δειδίσκομαι back to PIE
*dwey- / *dwi- could explain the appearance of -ι- before -σκ- / -σσ- as a
zero-grade of the root and the reduplication in -ει- as a result of
compensatory lengthening after the loss of *-w-.

Since the semantics of the ancient *-ske/o- stems is admitted to be obscure, a closer look at the meanings of the analyzed verbs may shed some light upon the transformation of the original function of the *-ske/o-. The results of the semantic research show that durative and progressive meanings are found in the majority of uses of the verbs considered and can actually overlap in a[rcw and pavscw - this fact can indicate a possible shift from durative to progressive (if we accept the idea of primary meaning being durative-iterative) or vice versa. Iterative and habitual meanings are always marked with adverbs, negation and conjunctions, or, as in misgevskonto, the verb takes the second *-ske/o- suffix. This can be explained in two different ways: 1. iterative and habitual meanings are secondary and developed for the *-ske/o- comparatively late; 2. the analyzed verbs have lost their old iterative or habitual meaning due to the suffix remodeling: *-ske/o- becomes less transparent in a[rcw < * gh-ske- and the others, which might have triggered the speakers reconsidering semantics of these verbs.

The results of the comparison show that in the majority of cases ἔσκον, in contrast to the non-suffixed imperfect ἦν, indicates a retrospective shift.
