The final form determines how a verb with form the perfective aspect. Generally, there are three main strategies for this: the application of suffix '''''-u-''''' directly after the stem (e.g. ''oeliç'' → '''''oeluī'''''), the appication of the suffix '''''-v-''''' after a theme vowel (e.g. ''aedaç'' → '''''aedāvī'''''), or no suffix, with lengthening of the root vowel (e.g. ''legiç'' → '''''lēgī'''''). It should be noted that the perfective is always followed by weak endings. | The final form determines how a verb with form the perfective aspect.

Occassionally, a thematic vowel, weak or strong, may be inserted before the t- or s-stem. This is most common in verbs with a base thematic ''-ā'', which often functions as a part of the stem (e.g. ''aedaç'' → '''''aedātus, aedārit''''' vs. ''mavaç'' → '''''mautus, maurit'''''). This may occur with other theme classes, although it should be noted that ''-ē-'' is never used, and is always replaced with ''-ī''. | |||
