Reverse-borrowed from Latin? and Hebrew? I think in Latin, the suffixes on various words indicate the subect to the point where it can be dropped from the sentence, and I seem to recall that in Hebrew, verbs have gender as well as number and tense (i.e., the verb form for "he says" is different from the form for "she says" -- it would be like "he says, she sayes" or something).
