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. -- Dream projects long deferred John Cowan <jcowan@...> usually bite the wax tadpole. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --James Lileks http://www.reutershealth.com
