| May 11, 2018 at 1:43 | comment | added | Draconis♦ | @JoonasIlmavirta Ah, thank you! That's very useful, and I should ask a proper question about these tools when I have a chance. Is it able to search for inflected forms? I tried searching for -oere (which I expected to turn up boere and maybe some actual o-stems) and got nothing. | |
| May 11, 2018 at 1:42 | comment | added | Draconis♦ | @Rafael Oh, they definitely conjugate just like consonant-stems, but the stems themselves seem to end in -u. (So you get -u-ō, -u-ere, -u-vī > -u-ī, -u-itus > -ūtus or something like that, like how the first conjugation has -a-ō > -ō, -a-ere > āre, -a-vī > -āvī, -a-itus > -ātus.) | |
| May 11, 2018 at 1:42 | comment | added | Joonas Ilmavirta♦ | @Rafael That search is precisely how I produced my answer. (This also addresses Draconis's question below: you can search for words ending with a specific string on Perseus. In fact, it would be useful to have questions about dictionary search tools.) | |
| May 11, 2018 at 1:38 | comment | added | Rafael | Research lead: -oo verbs. But as a Spanish speaker I can't help looking at the infinitives and say -u- verbs are still -ere verbs | |
