perfect or aorist form of ERCOMAI.

The term "perfective present" has me captivated, regarding hHKW, hHKEI,
etc. Does this verb then not have a perfect and pluperfect form? Or is
it derived somehow from ERCOMAI? Or how does it all work? Could you
just discuss it a bit? Its morphology, derivation, and form usages?

Thanks in advance.

George
