Ah, this is exactly why I am still suggesting books and articles regarding 
the subject of Aspect.  My usage indicated by {mu' [pat] vIlo'pu'} does 
indeed mean that I had used the word {pat} "system" wholly in the PAST.  But, 
this does not preclude my using it again.  Even though the action mentioned 
WAS wholly in the past, it may occur again.  It may be occurring now without 
the use of the imperfective {-taH}.
