perfective aspect?

[Keylstxatsmen]

Well...

From language log...

Aspect is perfective or imperfective. Tense has five points on the time line: present, past proximate, past general, future proximate, future general. Verbs can be inflected for tense alone, aspect alone, or a combination of tense and aspect.

Aha!  Nice.  I haven't looked at that for awhile it seems... :X

I still don't understand why he uses the past tense so little, but may that is for another thread.  Also don't understand why he said PERFECT above, and why his use of the PERFECTIVE always seems to match the pattern "I have hunted".  Didn't he write to someone that he probably uses it too liberally, or maybe that was something else...
