a purcede, ‘to start;’ perfect, eŭ purcesseĭ.
a alege, ‘to choose;’ perfect eŭ alesseĭ.
a culege, ‘to gather;’ perfect eŭ culesseĭ.
etc.

It will be shown that the past participle of these verbs is also different from the past participles of other verbs, and therefore all their compound tenses will differ too, as also the simple pluperfect, as it is formed from the simple perfect.

Simple Pluperfect.
