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:
