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'' ("I work") → '''''oeluī''''' ("I worked")), the appication of the suffix '''''-v-''''' after a theme vowel (e.g. ''aedaç'' ("they love me") → '''''aedāvī''''' ("they loved me")), or no suffix, with lengthening of the root vowel (e.g. ''legiç'' ("I choose") → '''''lēgī''''' ("I chose")). 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.
