So apparently #español has 2 completely interchangeable versions of the imperfect subjunctive. e.g. 'cupiera' can be 'cupiese'.
Because verbs were too simple, sure let's add multiple versions of each conjugation!
For those non-students of the language, here's what the conjugation of that verb looks like:

To be fair, the core 4 or 5 conjugations bed into your mind OK after enough time, for most 'normal' verbs (caber is a bit 'spicier' than most), but the very complex way the subjunctive gets used mixed in with past tenses and conditionals really is over the top sometimes).
