short form Russian adjectives

[colkitto]

Are Old Church Slavonic (and by extension in this context Russian) not 
closer to Greek participles rather than Latin ones?

Latin is actually quite poor in participles (only a present active, future 
active, and past passive) whereas Greejk has a participle for (I seem to 
remember) almost every tense and voice.

And so much of the literatuire on Old Chruch Slavonic calques, etc., refers 
to Greek rather than Latin.
