Note: the Analytical Lexicon (YMM 1992) states it is Durative aspect, but this comes in contradiction with their grammatical appendix (pp. 868-869) where it is said that “the Durative takes a ∅/yi conjugation pattern” while “essentially a Durative, the Conclusive differs from the Durative in that it takes a ∅/si” conjugation pattern. YM 1987 calls it a continuative, which AL reserves to verbs prefixed with na- (atelic) taking ∅/si pattern. See haatih for the same issue.
