I don’t know how it is that dze and shvili both mean “son,” but what really freaks me is that personal names are fully declined like other nouns. Whoa! **

Why does that freak you out? Personal names are also declined in Russian, and AFAIK in other Slavic languages as well.

(Kudos for digging that link up! I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know myself.)
