Description

LatinIRB is a terminal-based tool that uses Ruby's IRB environment as an interface. Upon launching the tool, the user has each of the canonical Latin verb tenses automatically provided: @aSecond, @aFourth, @aThirdIO, @aFirst, @aThird.

One can then invoke a conjugating method on one of them, then puts that verb and see what was resolved.
