- From _hic_ and _haec_. _hi:d,e:_ and _hajde:_ come from _hi: ei:dem_ and _hae eaedem_.

- Almost... it's infinitive + i:re.

- The original future active was too similar to the past/perfect active, because of the /v/ and the /B/.

- What was the future imperative used for? All i'm working from is a dictionary that doesn't have much in the way of explanations :-S .

- As of this incarnation, Jûdajcâ lost the subjunctive mood.
