Justin:
Check the spelling again; the perfect of LEGW comes from another verb, 
EIRW, and is EIRHKA

Why  not go to http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/lexica.html
and choose either of the Greek dictionaries, and enter LEGW and scroll down 
until you find such examples of the perfect of LEGW as LELEXA ( where X = 
Chi ) as used by the ancient medical writer Galen but note the addendum: 
EIRHKA   in correct writers):--
