The development into a subjunctive marker went hand in hand with the displacement of the simple present by the durative present in. Thereby be- became more and more associated with the subjunctive position and was ultimately grammaticalised in this function. The use of simple present for the subjunctive is now literary, while its use for the indicative is archaic/poetic.

The verbs and  are irregular: the imperative and subjunctive of the former uses the stem  without, and the latter uses the past participle  in conjunction with , e.g.
