"Infinitive" in Bulgarian
(note to self about Bulgarian infinitive—now dialect/obsolete, but relayed to me by a dialect speaker) Old first conjugation verbs(неса, веда, река, etc.): impossible Old second conjugation verbs(свикна, цъкна, дигна, тръгна, стисна, etc.): almost the same as the 1 p.sg. but you stress the final syllable which is actually pronounced like an ъ. свикнъ̀, цъкнъ̀, дигнъ̀, etc. Old third conjugation verbs(зная, пиша, пея, отварям, всичко на -вам, etc.): зна̀, писа̀, пя̀, отваря̀, използва̀, etc. Old fourth conjugation verbs(моля, видя, ходя, браня, etc.): молѝ, видѝ, ходѝ, бранѝ

oh and to explain the old conjugations: 1. ends with -a in the 1st person singular which follows a hard consonant [part of the new first conjugation] 2. you can always spot these as they always have a -н- near the end [part of the new first conjugation] 3. either end in -ам/-ям(обичам) in the first person singular or -я that follows a vowel(зная) [new third conjugation] 4. ends with -я, following a hard consonant. [new second conjugation]

It just occurred to me the correlation between, , ,. The commonality in the final screams of a common derivation to me, but I can't say what it's meant to mean. Nevertheless this merits investigation of some kind.
