On some reflection,
I think that I can rephrase a statement in my last email more precisely:
>Semantically
it functions like ENESTWS (present tense) and/or PARATATIKH OPSIS (imperfective
aspect)>
Pragmatically,
ESTANAI functions like an ENESTWS XRONOS (present tense) when indicative
as well as the PARATATIKH OPSIS (imperfective
aspect)
In the rewrite, the understanding of the Greek distills to the same,
but "pragmatically" gives more respect to the Greek form within the
Greek system and lets ESTANAI clearly remain a PARAKEIMENOS, even
though ESTANAI is a virtual ENESTWS/PARATATIKH for this verb.
