<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">By saying {'e' neHbe' vavoy} 'a'Setbur clearly took a dump on the rules..
..which is pretty fine, because hey, who doesn't enjoy giving the
finger to the rules every once in a while.
But 'a'Setbur, honey, if you're gonna break the rules, then damn it do
it well. No half-ass measures. No holding back. Go all the way; don't
just say {'e' neHbe' vavoy}; say {'e' neHpu'be' vavoy}.</pre>

<p>Two things.</p>
<p>First, another rule is that you can't have a type 7 verb suffix
on the verb after the pronoun <b>'e'.</b> Yes, the book says "the
second verb" instead of "the verb after" and there's only one verb
here, but you're still obviously breaking the rule.</p>
<p>Second, what Azetbur is expressing here isn't perfective. She's
not looking back on the entire act of wanting and seeing it as a
completed whole, nor is she talking about the time that the
wanting came to an end. She talking about her father's desire.
This is not perfective.</p>
<p>You still tend to use <b>-pu'</b> as a tense-marker instead of a
perfective-marker. <b>-pu'</b> doesn't mean <i>happened before</i>
— that's tense. It means <i>expressed as a completed whole</i> or
<i>comes to an end in the moment being described.</i></p>
