You just have "conjugal" on your mind.
I'm sorry, you're right. I've been practicing my First and Second Declension nouns so I forgot.

the nouns in the first declension for Genitive singular look like Accusative Plural.

ANd then I was thinking about indicative and simple future.

Mixing concepts. Apologies. I was working on two aspects but conflated them. Jeez, I need a break.

And probably mixing it up with the other 22 languages you study regularly. You're a machine.

Try including the definite article in the declension. That should help keep them distinguished.

Arch is indeed a machine and he does a yoeman's job considering his mechanisms (cylinders, if you will) are not as finely tuned as they might be. If his parts were being more optimally serviced, I hasten to imagine he would be infinitely more productive than any 10 of us on this silly board.
