These forms were common for all the persons
and genders. The verb of the past tense was used both as finite verb and
participle.
šeydu is formed
by the addition of du derived from adu, a remote demonstrative pronoun
of the singular number, to the verbal theme. The remote demonstrative
denotes remoteness, not only of distance but also of time.
e.g. avv‡r,
that village or town.
akkƒlam,
that remote past.
du changes into du, —u,
ru and ŠŠu as a result of combination.
e.g. ko˜+du=ko-du,
got, bought, etc.
k„˜+du=k„——u,
heard, asked.
nil+du=ni‹Šu,
stood.
vil+du=viŠŠu,
sold.
†di is formed
by the addition of i, the proximate demonstrative pronoun (arch) and suffix
of the noun of agency, to the verbal themes.
šeyki‹Šu
is formed by suffixing ki‹Šu to the verbal
theme. ki‹Šu itself was a past finite verb
derived from the theme kil, to be able.
