Atlantic, uniquely among Romance languages, developed a fluid-S alignment from the Latin active and passive voices; more properly, the third conjugation passive (infinitive ''-ī'') was generalized to all passives and many intransitive verbs as a further conjugation (also including many formerly deponent verbs); thus, there are many verbal doublets such as ''capsòi'' (1st conjugation, to get) and ''capsii'' (5th conjugation, to be got), taking different "subject" markers (the ''-ii'' conjugation uses the accusative forms of pronouns) and with a completely different conjugation.
