The "Set B" verb 'know something'
Root verb -anvt-
Note: Linguistically, this is called a Defective
Verb, meaning that it does not have all five of the usual stem
forms. It only has Present Tense and Habitual/Imperfect forms -- no
Remote Past or Infinitive, or Imperative stems. Probably the logic
for this is that one doesn't just know something at a single point
in but rather knowledge is continuous or spread over a span of time.
The Past and Imperative shown in the CED, Kirk's VHB, and here are
Imperfect Past and Imperfect Future tenses built on the Habitual
stem.

is related in meaning and likewise missing the same stems.
