Hmmm.. if I do not confound then we have as follow:

Latin conj. IV, scire, to know, perfect tense.
scivi, scivisti, scivit, scivimus, scivistis, sciverunt

Rom. conj. IV "Sti", to know, simple perfect
Stiui, StiuSi, Stiuse, Stiusem, StiuseTi, Stiuse
the root in both languages should be "sci-", "Sti-"
Latin paradigms for making the perfect here are:

sci -vi, -visti, -ivit, -ivimus, -iverunt
Sti -ui, -uSi , -u , -urãm , -urãti, -urã

Does it fit?
