	Slavic languages. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Grammatically the Slavic languages, with the exception of Bulgarian and Macedonian, have a highly developed inflection of the noun, with up to seven cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative, instrumental, and vocative).
		The Slavic verb usually takes one of three simple tenses (past, present, and future), but it is further characterized by a complex feature called aspect, which can be either imperfective (showing continuous or repeated action) or perfective (denoting a completed action).
		Members of the Slavic subfamily are more conservative and thus closer to Proto-Indo-European than languages in the Germanic and Romance groups, as is witnessed by their preservation of seven of the eight cases for the noun that Proto-Indo-European possessed and by their continuation of aspects for the verb.

		Slavic people also fear the fact that the Rusalki's favorable influence on the weather can be gone in an angry flash, bringing "fatal storms, dangerous rains, and heavy hail" (Máchel 255).
