I don't remember if that was last year or two years ago where I
showed the same aspect of Lithuanian and Rom. to Miguel. At that time
he said it is just a coincidence and most important thing, Rom. has 4
conjugations as Latin have had.
In fact that is not true, but this is a matter of systematisation.
the true is, Rom. has minimum 5 conjugation and maximum 7 if one will
to build a separate system for the verbs which are conjugated with -
ez and -esc.
That is, there are 5 conjugations with the stem of the infinitive,
one with -ez and one with -esc.
