Part 19

895. For #-rē# in old Latin, see 134, 2. The infinitive of #fīō#, _become_, ends in #-rī#, #fī̆erī#, with a passive ending (789); twice #fīere# (Enn. Laev.). An older form for #-re# is #-se#, found in #esse#, _to be_, #ēsse#, _to eat_, and their compounds. For #velle#, _to wish_ (#mālle#, #nōlle#), see 166, 8. In the perfect, #eō#, _go_, sometimes has #-iisse# in compounds (766), and in poetry, #petō#, _go to_, has rarely #petiisse#.

896. The present infinitive passive of verbs in #-ere# has the ending #-ī#; that of other verbs has #-rī#: as,

#regī#, #capī#; #laudārī#, #monērī#, #audīrī#. #ferō#, _carry_, has #ferrī#. The length of the #ī# is sometimes indicated by the spelling #ei# (29, 2): as, DAREI.

897. A longer form in #-ier# for #-ī#, and #-rier# for #-rī#, is common in old laws and dramatic verse, and occurs sometimes in other poetry: as, FIGIER, _to be posted_, GNOSCIER, _to be read_ (inscr. 186 B.C.); #dīcier#, _to be said_, #cūrārier#, _to be looked after_ (Plaut.); #dominārier#, _to be lord paramount_ (Verg.).

898. The place of the perfect passive, future active, and future passive infinitive is supplied by a circumlocution, as seen in the paradigms. For the future perfect #-āssere#, see 887.

GERUNDIVE AND GERUND.

899. The gerundive stem is formed by adding #-ndo-#, nominative #-ndus#, #-nda#, #-ndum#, to the present stem: as,

#dandus#, stem #dando-#; #regendus#, #capiendus#; #laudandus#, #monendus#, #audiendus#. Verbs in #-ere# and #-īre# often have #-undus#, when not preceded by #u# or #v#, especially in formal style: as, #capiundus#; #eō#, _go_, always has #eundum#, and #orior#, _rise_, #oriundus#. For the adjective use, see 288. The gerund is like the oblique cases of the neuter singular. For #-bundus#, see 289; #-cundus#, 290.

SUPINE.

900. The supine stem is formed by the suffix #-tu-#, which is often changed to #-su-# (912).

This suffix is attached to a root or to a form of the present stem after the manner of the perfect participle (906): as, #nūntiātum#, _to report_, #nūntiātū#, _in reporting_, stem #nūntiātu-#. Many of the commonest verbs have no supine: as, #sum#, #eō#, #ferō#; #regō#, #emō#, #tegō#; #amō#, #dēleō#, #doceō#, &c., &c.

PRESENT PARTICIPLE.

901. The present participle stem is formed by adding #-nt-# or #-nti-#, nominative #-ns#, to the present stem: as,

#dāns#, _giving_, stems #dant-#, #danti-#; #regēns#, #capiēns#; #laudāns#, #monēns#, #audiēns#.

902. The adjective #sontem# (accusative, no nominative), which was originally the participle of #sum#, has #o# before the suffix, and #absēns# and #praesēns# have #e#; the participle of #eō# has #ē# in the nominative singular, otherwise #u#, #iēns#, #euntis#, &c. #n# rarely drops before #-s# (63): as, LIBES (inscr.), #exsultās# (Enn.), #animās# (Lucr.).

903. Some adjectives which were originally present participles have no verb: as, #clēmēns#, _merciful_, #ēlegāns#, _choice_, #ēvidēns#, _clear_, #frequēns#, _thick_, #petulāns#, _wanton_, #recēns#, _fresh_, #repēns#, _sudden_, &c., &c. For #potēns#, _powerful_, see 922.

FUTURE PARTICIPLE.

904. The future participle suffix is #-tūro-#, nominative #-tūrus#, #-tūra#, #-tūrum#, which is often changed to #-sūro-#, nominative #-sūrus#, #-sūra#, #-sūrum# (912).

This suffix is added to a theme after the manner of the perfect

## participle (906): as, #rēctūrus#, _going to guide_; #laudātūrus#, _going

to praise_.

905. Some future participles have a different formation from that of the perfect participle: as, #mortuus#, _dead_, #moritūrus#; see also in the dictionary #arguō#, #fruor#, #orior#, #ruō#, #secō#. And some verbs have two forms of the future participle: as, #āgnōscō#, #īgnōscō#, #hauriō#, #iuvō#, #pariō#. Some verbs which have no perfect participle have a future participle: as, #acquiēscō#, #appāreō#, #ardeō#, #caleō#, #careō#, #doleō#, #ēsuriō#, #fugiō#, #haereō#, #incidō#, #iaceō#, #-nuō#, #parcō#, #rauciō#, #recidō#, #sonō#, #stō#, #valeō#.

PERFECT PARTICIPLE.

906. The perfect participle suffix is #-to-#, nominative #-tus#, #-ta#, #-tum#, which is often changed to #-so-#, nominative #-sus#, #-sa#, #-sum# (912).

907. The perfect participle was originally active as well as passive, and some participles have retained the active meaning: as,

#adultus#, _grown up_; #ēmersus#, _rising out from_; #exōsus#, #perōsus#, _hating bitterly_; #placitus#, _engaging_; #iūrātus#, _sworn_, #coniūrātus#, _conspiring_; #prānsus#, _having lunched_, #cēnātus#, _having dined_, #pōtus#, _drunk_, &c. The perfect participles of deponents are usually active, but sometimes passive: as, #meditātus#, _having studied_, or _studied_. Many verbs are not accompanied by a perfect participle (811), particularly verbs in #-ēre#, with a parallel adjective in #-idus# (287). Intransitive verbs have usually only the neuter. A perfect active participle #meminēns# is said to have been used twice (Plaut., Laev.).

908. The perfect participle is formed in one of two separate ways:

909. (1.) From a theme consisting of a root; in this way the participles of most verbs in #-ere# and #-ēre# are formed: as,

#gestus#, _carried_, #aptus#, _fit_, #solūtus#, _loosed_ (142), #iūnctus#, _joined_ (831), #sparsus#, _sprinkled_ (170, 3); #doctus#, _taught_.

910. In some consonant root participles of verbs in #-ere#, #-āre#, or #-ēre#, which have the suffix #-u-# in the perfect stem (873), the #-to-# is preceded by a short #i#: as, #genitus#, _born_ (971-976); #domitus#, _tamed_ (993); #monitus#, _warned_ (1003, 1004, 1009). In old Latin, #e# occurs: as, MERETA (41); #e# is retained in #vegetus#, _sprightly_. One participle has #-tuo-#: #mortuus#, _dead_.

911. Some verbs in #-āre# have participles from consonant roots: as, #frictus#, _rubbed_, #fricō#, #fricāre#; see 993. Also some in #-īre#: as, #fartus#, _stuffed_ (170, 3), #farciō#, #farcīre#; #fultus#, _propped_, #fulciō#, #fulcīre#; see 1011-1015, and 1017, 1019, 1020.

912. Roots in #-d-# and #-t-# change #-to-# to #-so-#, before which the dentals change to #s# (159). After long vowels, nasals, and liquids the double #ss# is simplified to #s#: as, #fossus#, _dug_, but #dīvīsus#, _divided_; #vorsus# or #versus#, _turned_. The suffix #-so-# is also found with some roots in #-l-#, #-m-#, or #-r-# and a few others: as, #pulsus# (159).

913. (2.) From a theme in long #ā# or in long #ī#; in this way

## participles are regularly formed from denominatives in #-āre# or #-īre#

respectively: as,

#laudātus#, _praised_; #audītus#, _heard_.

914. A few perfect participles of verbs in #-ere# are formed from a presumed theme in long #ī#, or long #ē#, or from one in long #ū#: as, #petītus#, _aimed at_; #exolētus#, _grown out_; see 967-970; #tribūtus#, _assigned_; see 947, 948.

915. (1.) Many perfect participles formed from consonant roots have a short root vowel (135, 1): as,

#adspectus#, _beheld_; #captus#, _taken_; #coctus#, _cooked_; #commentus#, _devising_; #cultus#, _tilled_; #dictus#, _said_, verb #dīcō#; #ductus#, _led_, #dūcō#; #factus#, _made_; #fossus#, _dug_; #gestus#, _carried_; #inlectus#, _allured_; #questus#, _complaining_; #raptus#, _seized_; #tersus#, _neat_; #textus#, _woven_; #vorsus#, _turned_.

916. (2.) Some perfect participles formed from consonant roots have a long root vowel, sometimes even when the vowel of the parallel present stem is short (135, 1; 122, _f_): as,

#fīxus#, _fastened_, verb #fīgō#; #-flīctus#, _dashed_, #-flīgō#; #pāstus#, _fed_, #pāscō#; #pollūctus#, _offered up_, #pollūceō#; #scrīptus#, _written_, _scrībō_; #-cāsus#, _fallen_, #cadō#. Also #āctus#, _driven_, #agō#; #vīsus#, _seen_, #videō#; #frūctus#, _enjoying_, #fruor#; #lēctus#, _culled_, #legō#; #pīctus#, _painted_, #pingō#; #rēctus#, _ruled_, #regō#; #ēsus#, _eaten_, #edō#; #strūctus#, _piled_, #struō#; #tēctus#, _covered_, #tegō#; #ūnctus#, _anointed_, #unguō#; #frāctus#, _broken_, #frangō#; #pāctus#, _fixed_, #pangō#. Furthermore, #iūnctus#, _joined_, #iungō#; #sānctus#, _hallowed_, #sanciō# (831); also, #fūnctus#, _having performed_, #fungor#.

917. (1.) Most perfect participles formed from vowel roots have a long root vowel: as,

#lātus#, _borne_ (169, 1); #nātus#, _born_; #-plētus#, _filled_; #trītus#, _worn_; #nōtus#, _known_; #sūtus#, _sewed_. So also an isolated #rūtus#, in the law phrase #rūta caesa#, or #rūta et caesa#, _diggings and cuttings_, i.e. _minerals and timber_.

918. (2.) Ten perfect participles formed from vowel roots have a short root vowel; they are:

citus, datus, _hurried_, _given_ itum, ratus, _gone_, _thinking_ -rutus, satus, _fallen_, _planted_ situs, status, _lying_, _set_ litus, quitus, _besmeared_, _been able_

919. As #citus#, so always #percitus# and #incitus# (once #incītus#, doubtful); usually #concitus#, rarely #concītus#; #excitus# and #excītus# equally common; always #accītus#. #ambītus# always has long #ī# (763). #āgnitus#, _recognized_, #cōgnitus#, _known_, and the adjectives #inclutus# or #inclitus#, _of high renown_, and #putus#, _clean_, have a short root vowel. For #dēfrūtum#, #dēfrutum#, see 134, 1.
