I don't know Russian. I just wrote from what I rememebered it sounds
like:-)
consider please j=i and final "s"= "sh" and it fits with what I wrote.

I just wanted to point out that it seems a too "willing" idea to connect
things in a sentence as that where it is said " the whole paradigm can
be derived direct from Latin". As one can see, the desinences for the
conjugation are the same in several languages of seveal families and
that should be enough for consider it as a indigen development as well
since I doubt that Russian or Lithuanian's paradigm in conjugation
derives direct from Latin:-)
