In Svan dialects a stem of Perfect is a basis <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> Pluperfect, which<br />

in turn becomes a basis <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong> Perfect Subjunctive:<br />

Balszemoan: ħoħţaw -a – ħoħţaw-ǟn – ħoħţaw-ēn-s "s/he has<br />

painted-s/he had painted-may s/he paint" (V. Topuria, 1967, p. 177).<br />

Different types of verbs <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>m Perfect differently.<br />

In modern literary Ge<strong>or</strong>gian a stem of Series 1 and Series 2 is<br />

used as a stem of a transitive verb in Perfect.<br />

a) transitive verb <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms in which -av, -am thematic markers are<br />

present show various specificities. F<strong>or</strong> such type of verbs the Present-<br />

Future stem represents a basis in Perfect. If a verb consists of a thematic<br />

marker in Present-Future it will possess a thematic marker in Perfect<br />

too. Prefixes -i and -u are attached. There are no exceptions to this rule<br />

in Old Ge<strong>or</strong>gian: gauĵarcvavs "s/he has robbed" (Present: ĵarcv avs<br />

"s/he is robbing"), moukargavs "she has embroidered" (Present: kargavs<br />

"she is embroidering"), daudgams "s/he has put" (Present: dgams "s/he<br />

is putting").<br />

Conjugation is simple when the object in nominative case is 3rd<br />

person: momiķlavs me igi, mogiķlavs šen igi, mouķlavs mas igi…<br />

The situation is different when the object is 1 st <strong>or</strong> 2 nd<br />

person. In<br />

this case there is no auxiliary verb present in Old Ge<strong>or</strong>gian: mouķlav<br />

mas me, mouķlav mas šen, mouķlav mas igi…<br />

The above mentioned type of verbs is combined with auxiliary<br />

verbs in moder Ge<strong>or</strong>gian: mouķlav-var, mouķlav-ħar.<br />

In other types of verbs in Perfect Screeve the Old Ge<strong>or</strong>gian i-e<br />

ending is substituted by ending -i-a.<br />

A part of archaic verb <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms without thematic markers acquired<br />

thematic markers: reķavs, tibavs, tesavs, ķenķavs, ķeţ avs, ķecavs,<br />

recħavs, ċeċavs, ċedavs, ħeħavs, ħocavs…<br />

A part of such verbs will reveal thematic marker -av in Perfect<br />

Screeve as well: dauħocavs, gaurecħavs, daureķavs… though the <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>ms<br />

without thematic marker are m<strong>or</strong>e frequent: ħocdau ia, gaurecħ ia,<br />

daureķia… In this case a stem of Series 2 serves as a basis.<br />

In Pkhovian dialects (Khevsurian, Pshavian, Tushian) Perfect of<br />

transitive verbs (when the real object is 3 rd person) is <strong>f<strong>or</strong></strong>med by -av<br />
