Where do hac and hâjic come from?

Synthetic passive forms, I love them! Kept them in Reman, am gonna do the same with Arabo-Romance... :)

What a nice one! And as I just checked it, it has the same origin as the Reman form of the same voice and tense :) .

Same origin as in other Romance langs (infinitive + habere)?

If the future passive comes directly from the Latin form, why didn't you do the same with the active form? Or would they have been to similar? Unless it's by analogy with other verb conjugations where the future is more similar to other tenses?

One thing I'm wondering is whether any Romance lang kept a trace of the Latin future imperative... Maybe I should keep it for my Arabo-Romance lang...

Not at all! These endings don't look longer than what you have, say, in Italian or Romanian (for what I can remember). Just one question: do you have a subjunctive mood, or did Jûdajcâ lose it? I long to see what has become of the other conjugations. Christophe. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr
