-A 'periphrastic' can be defined generally as the use of multiple words to express what could otherwise be stated using one word. More narrowly, a periphrastic often refers to a multi-word entry in a paradigm. Even more restrictive, a periphrastic is sometimes limited to referencing a verbal construction that must be inflectional.
+Periphrastic constructions represent grammatical notions using a combination of auxiliaries and verbal forms. In both Gaelic and English, aspect is typically represented periphrastically. In Gaelic to mark the [[Perfect Aspect (definition)|perfect aspect]] one uses a combination of the auxiliary [[Bi (irregular verb]], the [[Particle (definition)|particle]] [[Air (aspect marker)|air]] and the [[Verbal Noun (definition)|verbal noun]]: ''Bha mi air am bainne òl''
