Hm. I know about other changes, such as the infamous resubtitling of
{qamapu' jonta' neH} "I told you engine only!" as "I wanted
prisoners!", which gave us the noun {qama}, the use of {-pu'} as a
plural suffix, the {-ta'} suffix for goal achievement, and the verb
{neH}. (And took away the verb {ma} "tell", which became {ra}, to
make the substitution less apparent.) But I'm not familiar with a
script-triggered recasting of tense as aspect, and I can't think of
any instances of {-pu'} in ST3 that weren't in the past tense as well
as in the perfective aspect. Are the details available somewhere?
HolQeD, perhaps?
