In many the simple verb is incomplete, but the missing parts occur in its compounds: as, vádó, vádere, in-vásí, in-vásum.

Some verbs occur very commonly, but only in a few forms: -



a. Aió, I say: -

INDIC.	PRES.	aió, ais,[1][The second singular ais with the interrogative -ne is often written ain.] ait; - - , - - , aiunt
	IMPF.	aiébam,[2][An old imperfect aibam, aibás, etc. (dissyllabic) is sometimes found.] aiébás, etc.
SUBJV.	PRES.	- - , aiás, aiat; - - , - - , aiant
IMPER.	aí (rare)	PART.
 The vowels a and i are pronounced separately (a-is, a-it) except sometimes in old or colloquial Latin. Before a vowel, one i stands for two (see § 6. c): - thus aió was pronounced ai-yó and was sometimes written aiió. b. Inquam, I say, except in poetry, is used only in direct quotations (cf. the English quoth). INDIC. PRES. inquam, inquis, inquit; inquimus, inquitis (late), inquiunt IMPF. - - , - - , inquiébat; - - , - - , - - FUT. - - , inquiés, inquiet; - - , - - , - - PERF. inquií, inquístí, - - ; - - , - - , - - IMPER.

Ínfandus, nefandus, are used as adjectives, unspeakable, abominable.  d. Queó, I can, nequeó, I cannot, are conjugated like eó. They are rarely used except in the present. Queó is regularly accompanied by a negative. The forms given below occur, those in full-faced type in classic prose. The Imperative, Gerund, and Supine are wanting.
