@PUC: You are the Classical Philologist here. What is the opposite of the grammatical term? *aperiphrastic is a scanno, also not sheen.
I think also that syntactic is a synonym, as in what you can find syntactic tense. Fay Freak (talk) 14:24, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Fay Freak: I think synthetic would be the one (at least in French, it's périphrastique >< synthétique). PUC14:26, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
(or analytique >< synthétique, as our entry synthetic has just reminded me) PUC14:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
