I find very interesting the fact that Rom. make _the same thing_ with
Slavic, Hungarian, etc loans. ( later as latin inherited/loans).
For this , to "romanise" the verbs there is the sufix "-ui", ecxactly
how Albania does with Latin verby with suffix "-oj"
Strange coincidence, isn't it? Strange phoneticall, strange on the time
line after all today known linguistic facts.
