(2) SUBSTANTIVES have the termination "o". To form the plural the
termination "j" is added. There are only two cases: nominative and
accusative; the latter is obtained from the nominative by the addition

the addition of the adjectival termination. Declension is as with the
substantives.

"been" (Past) "-is"; time "about to be" (Future) "-os"; the Conditional
