Past conditional and subjunctive plus-que-parfait

As their names would imply

They're the same tense tho they just get called different things sometimes to be clearer about how they're being used

They're subjunctive, just latin didn't have a conditional so they'd use subjunctive to express it, so it stuck in some kinda niche usages, but it gets rarer and rarer
