PERFECT from REFLEXIVE

[Sergey Lyosov]

Dear all,
In Akkadian, the Perfect tense (which functions much like the English Present Perfect) is generally thought to have emerged from the reflexive of the Past tense. Do you know of any other languages where the PERFECT has the same origin?
  Thank you very much,
  Sergey
