> Dear List members, At the moment I am going through Lynn Ate, Tirmaṅkai
> Āḻvār's Five Shorter Works. At several occasions she uses the term
> "aspect". E.g. on p. 107 in a note discussing the form īṉṟaṉai, "you bore,
> gave birth to". She calls it a perfective aspect formation, apparently
> typical of classical Tamil. On p. 82 she analyses āṉāy as a 2nd person
> singular perfective aspect "you became", i.e. "you are".
> I have a feeling that I have missed something (but then, I am not a
> linguist pur sang), namely when (or by whom) the term "aspect" has been
> introduced in classical Tamil studies (I am not talking about modern Tamil
> studies)? Tense is an obvious problem in classical Tamil poetry. has the
> concept of aspect been introduced to solve this problem?
> With the best wishes, Herman
