'Continuous action' verbs
#2
It would be interesting to find out if "continuous action verbs" existed in Greek prior to translations from Semitic languages (i.e., the LXX and the NT <!-- sBig Grin --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/happy.gif" alt="Big Grin" title="Happy" /><!-- sBig Grin --> )

If not, then there definitely would be a case for this being a marker of translation from a Semitic language.
