The appearance of the Injunctive in conditional sentences or 

 indeed in any construction save with the representative of the 

 Indo-Germanic "^nie ' not ' developed late in the pre-Indo-Ger- 

 manic period.' The usage must have existed even then if we 

 may judge from the Vedic and Avestan languages. The most 

 primitive form of the conditions containing the Injunctive was 

 probably that in which the Injunctive appeared in the strong, or 

 root-aorist. From this Aorist was developed later the imperfect 

 Injunctive (Streitberg Verhand. der 44. Versammlung deutsch. 

 Philol. und Schulmeister 22. Sept., 1897, pp. 165-166).
