366. These present verb stems are formed by adding the suffix #-i̭o-#,

#-i̭e-# to the noun stem: as #*fugā-i̭ō#, _I flee_; the #i̭# between two

vowels was dropped (153, 2) and the final vowel of noun stem was often

contracted with the ending (118, 3). The noun stem ending is often

slightly modified.

367. In a half a dozen denominatives from stems in #-u-# the #u# of the

noun stem remains without modification, and is not contracted with the

variable vowel (116, _c_): these are, #acuere#, _sharpen_ (#acu-#),

#metuere#, _fear_, #statuere#, _set_, #tribuere#, _assign_; #arguere#,

_make clear_, #bātuere#, _beat_.

368. Verbs in #-āre# are by far the most numerous class of

denominatives; they are usually transitive; but deponents often express

condition, sometimes occupation: as, #dominārī#, _lord it_, _play the

lord_; #aquārī#, _get oneself water_. Most verbs in #-īre# also are

transitive; those in #-ēre# usually denote a state: as, #calēre#, _be

warm_; but some are causative: as, #monēre#, _remind_.

369. Many denominative verbs in #-āre# contain a noun suffix which is

not actually found in the noun itself; such suffixes are: #-co-#,

#-cin-#, #-lo-#, #-er-#, #-ro-#, #-to-#, &c.: as,

#-co-#: #albi-cāre#, _be white_ (#*albi-co-#); #velli-cāre#, _pluck_

(#*velli-co-#, _plucker_). #-cin-#: #latrō-cinārī#, _be a robber_

(#latrōn-#); #sermō-cinārī#, _discourse_ (#sermōn-#). #-lo-#:

#grātu-lārī#, _give one joy_ (#*grātu-lo-#); #vi-olāre#, _harm_

(#*vi-olo-#); #heiu-lāri#, _cry_ ‘#heia#’ (#*heiu-lo-#). #-er-#:

#mod-erārī#, _check_ (#*mod-es-#, 236). #-ro-#: #tole-rāre#, _endure_

(#*tole-ro-#); #flag-rāre#, _blaze_ (#*flag-ro-#). #-to-#:

#dēbili-tāre#, _lame_ (#*dēbili-to-#); #dubi-tāre#, _doubt_

(#*dubi-to-#).

370. Many denominatives in #-āre# are indirect compounds (377), often

from compound noun stems which are not actually found. So, particularly,

when the first part is a preposition, or the second is from the root

#fac-#, _make_, #ag-#, _drive_, _do_, or #cap-#, _take_: as,

#opi-tul-ārī#, _bear help_ (#opitulo-#); #suf-fōc-āre#, _suffocate_

(#*suf-fōc-o-#, #fauci-#); #aedi-fic-āre# (_housebuild_), _build_

(#*aedific-# or #*aedifico-#, _housebuilder_); #sīgni-fic-āre#, _give

token_ (#*sīgnifico-#); #fūm-ig-āre#, _make smoke_ (#*fūmigo-#,

_smoker_, #fūmo-#, √#ag-#); #nāv-ig-āre#, _sail_, and #rēm-ig-āre#,

_row_ (#nāvi-#, _ship_, and #rēmo-#, _oar_); #mīt-ig-āre#, _make mild_

(#mīti-#); #iūr-ig-āre#, commonly #iūr-g-āre#, _quarrel_ (#iūr-#);

#pūr-ig-āre#, commonly #pūr-g-āre#, _clean_ (#pūro-#); #gnār-ig-āre#,

_tell_ (#gnāro-#, #narrāre#, 169, 2; 133, 1); #anti-cip-āre#, _take

beforehand_ (#*anticipo-#, #ante#, √#cap-#); #oc-cup-āre#, _seize_

(#*occupo-#); #re-cup-er-āre#, _get back_ (#*recupero-#).

371. Many verbs in #-tāre# (#-sāre#), or #-tārī# (#-sārī#), express

frequent, intense, or sometimes attempted action. These are called

_Frequentatives_ or _Intensives_; they are formed from perfect

participle stems; but stems in #-ā-to-# become #-i-to-#: as,

#cant-āre#, _sing_ (#canto-#); #cess-āre#, _loiter_ (#cesso-#);

#amplex-ārī#, _embrace_ (#amplexo-#); #habit-āre#, _live_ (#habito-#);

#pollicit-āri#, _make overtures_ (#pollicito-#); #dormīt-āre#, _be

sleepy_ (#dormīto-#); #neg-itāre#, _keep denying_ (for #*negā-tāre#,

with suffix #-i-tāre#, 910).

372. Some frequentatives in #-tāre# are formed from the present stem of

a verb in #-ere#; the formative vowel before #-tāre# becomes #i#: as,

#agi-tāre#, _shake_ (#age-re#); #flui-tāre#, _float_ (#flue-re#);

#nōsci-tāre#, _recognize_ (#nōsce-re#); #quaeri-tāre#, _keep seeking_

(#quaere-re#); #scīsci-tārī#, _enquire_ (#scīsce-re#); #vēndi-tāre#,

_try to sell_ (#vēnde-re#).
