I think Georgian does so, too. What regards my own conlang Old Albic, the tense/aspect/mood markers are monofunctional and mostly agglutinative, but tense is only distinguished in the imperfective indicative, while the perfective indicative (aorist) and the two subjunctives (imperfective and perfective) do not distinguish tenses. ... brought to you by the Weeping Elf
