Anglophone dictionaries omit the second of these, which can (always?) be
deduced from the citation form and the infinitive. My Latin textbook
listed the masc. fut. act. part. rather than the supine, different
merely in being -us rather than -um, but this was not true of my father's
Latin textbook.
Useful Latin verbs with principal parts (work best in the Church Latin
pronunciation):
pigo, pigere, squili, gruntum
flio, flire, itci, scratium
The meanings are omitted as obvious.
