Our article is devoted to the difference between two synthetic past tenses in Hill Mary, which we denote as Aorist and Perfect. The difference between Aorist and Perfect is usually explained in terms of evidentiality or time distance (from the moment of speech). We will consistently disprove these explanations and offer our own hypothesis, which is based on the concept of perspective point: Aorist is used in contexts adjacent to the perspective point, while Perfect used in contexts, when there is a time distance between the perspective point and the described event.
