Exegesis
Finally, kai oudeis edidou autoi {καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδίδου αὐτῷ | kaì oudeìs edídou autôi} employs the imperfect to depict a persistent lack of provision, with the negative indefinite oudeis as subject and autoi as indirect object. This sequence of imperfect verbs (epethumei, esthion, edidou) underscores the protracted nature of his deprivation.
In context — Luke 15:16
And he was longing to fill his belly with the pods which the pigs were eating, and no one was giving him anything.
