What the...?! Itakian has exactly the same aspects, and the same word orders to
distinguish them! (though as a little difference, perfective is VS, meaning
that there cannot be a direct object afterwards, and S in Itakian is actually
T, the trigger. But imperfective does have the word order TVO, with a mandatory
direct object!)

Well, Itakian has four tones, so the comparison stops here :)) .
