Description:
Where was tense, that is so pervasive in Bantu verbal systems,innovated? Was it innovated within early Bantu or in a pre-Proto-Bantu context? Was it a feature of Proto-Bantoid, or of a larger community at the level of Bantoid-Cross or even earlier? This study seeks to more precisely identify this community.
