Well, I am going that route, I just didnt see how Spanish got to it's
forms from the rules in that book i read. But, my changes would be
>
habeo - haueo
habes - haues
habet - haue
habemus - hauemos
habetis - hauées
habent - haueng
It seems that in the auxiliary forms in (this book on Spanish language
history I have shows that the full verb, except habeo seems to be regular)
they drop the 've' or the 'av' in most cases (avemos > emos > hemos, aves
> as > has) . Of course,
A small sample: I have sung the song - Haueo cantáo la cançón
