Personal Pronouns
Unlike nouns, personal pronouns can appear in genitive, accusative, and dative forms.

Verbs
Infinitives can take three endings that determine how they will conjugate: -are, -ere, and -ire endings. From its anscestor Latin, many verb forms were lost and Soc only retained present, past, future, participle, and gerund conjugations. It is important to not that other aspects and voices can be expressed using different combinations of those five forms.
