Tensal

Names which do not terminate in a vowel sound, require a vowel prefixed to the tensal inflection, rendering it obun, or ebun.

If this theory be correct, it shows that the nature of the Hebrew verb, which agrees with the Syriac and Arabic verb, is rather modal than tensal, and differs widely from that of the verb in the Greek, Latin, and modern languages of Europe.

In some participial constructions, however, an aorist participle can have either a tensal or aspectual meaning.
