NOTE: The perfect is formed by adding a "reduplicating augment" to the stem. This reduplicating augment is formed by taking the first letter of the stem (or in certain cases a similar sounding letter) and adding it to e at the front of the stem. Then, after the stem the endings are added, as before. For instance: le+lu+mai ; the reduplication is l added to e, added to the stem lu, and then the ending mai, etc. See, it's very simple!
The perfect tense is used to show action completed in the past, but with results that last into the present. For example: leluka = I have loosed (and it remains loosed!). This tense is VERY important theologically, as the student will learn from translating it correctly in the New Testament.
