How did Hittite express repeated or ongoing actions?

In the Hittite language, repeated, habitual, or ongoing actions are expressed by adding the infix -ske- to a verb stem.1

While basic verb stems can sometimes convey aspectual distinctions—such as dāi, which can mean "takes" or "is taking"—the addition of the -ske- infix serves to overtly indicate imperfective meanings. For example, the verb form daskemi translates to "I am taking," "I take (several objects)," or "I repeatedly/habitually take".1
