Remarks on the Conjugations.
§ 293. Omission of -v, -vi -ve.—This omission, noted in the First and Fourth Conjugation, is sometimes found in the other Conjugations: e.g., dēflēstī for dēflēvistī; pĕtĭĭ, etc., for pĕtīvī, etc., and often nōstī, nōrim for nōvistī, nōvĕrim. In compounds of īrĕ go, these forms are used almost exclusively.
Omission of -is.—Where i comes between two s's, -is is (rarely) omitted in poetry, e.g., dīxtī for dīxistī, extīnxem for exstīnxissem.
Where the Interrogative Particle -ne is appended to the Second Sing. Pres. Ind., the combination is sometimes shortened, as vĭdĕn? for vĭdēsne? So with sătĭs (Adv.), sătĭn? for sătisne?
§ 294. Imperfect Indicative.—In the Fourth Conjugation a form in -ibam instead of ĭēbam is found in poetry, as aud-ībam.
Perfect Indicative.—The Third Pers. Plur. in -unt is often short in poetry, as stetĕrunt.
Imperative.—Făcere makes făc in the 2nd Sing. Imper. (first form); dīcĕre, dūcĕre, ferre (and their compounds), make dīc, dūc, fĕr. Scīre has scītō only.
Infinitive Present Passive.—Poets sometimes use -iĕr for ī: as fārĭĕr for fārī.
- ↑ Pepigī is commonly used as Perf,
