Features for aorist #3

Open francescomambrini opened 3 years ago

francescomambrini commented 3 years ago

Tense feature is OK for indicative aorist, but what about the other moods? What to do with e.g. infinitives and participles, where a past-tense interpretation is by no means a given in each context?

Aorist has actually to be treated by the Aspect feature (here, Perf) and is orthogonal to Tense. Inifinitives and participles, if they're similar to Latin (I do not remember all details well) don't actually have tense.
