Doesn't "aorist" mean the sort of "universal tense" like "Coyotes hunt for
their food (always, in general)" as opposed to "Coyotes are hunting for their
food (these particular coyotes, at this one time I'm referring to)"?
If that is what you mean, I'd have to disagree. But I'll let you confirm or
deny first.
