Alex don't want to accept that this is a Slavic suffix.
Hence his question.

>"-eshte" is for making an adverb
>prost :prostesc prosteshte

Here: would someone pls give a few details on the IE *-isk.
(the Rum. adverbial -e$te < Rum. adjectival -esc, much like
Engl./Fr. -esque & Ital. -esco)

>but is to find in conjugation of the verbs at the III person
>singular vorbeshte, spoieshte, abureshte, dadaceshte, gandeshte,
>tavaleshte, etc.

i.e. in Rum. verbs of the 4th conjugation, in -i and -rî
(-ire, -rîre), indicative & subjunctive, present time:

eu xxx-esc, tu xxx-e$ti, el/ea xxx-e($te),
noi xxx-im, voi xxx-itzi, ei/ele xxx-e(sc).

Alex thinks that these endings of the verb must be related
both with the slavic suffix /-iSte/ and the Romanian adverbial
/-eSte/, that is derived from Rum. masc./neutr. -esc, fem. -easc@,
plural. /-eSti/.
