PERSONAL ENDINGS.

163.

Verbs have regular terminations[1][Most of these seem to be fragments of old pronouns, whose signification is t[QUERY] added to that of the verb-stem (cf. § 36). But the ending -miní in the second per[QUERY] plural of the passive is perhaps a remnant of the participial form found in the Gr[QUERY] -o , and has supplanted the proper form, which does not appear in Latin. The personal ending -nt is probably connected with the participial nt- (nominative -ns).] for each of the three Persons, both singular and plural, active and passive.[2][The Passive is an old Middle Voice, peculiar to the Italic and Celtic language and of uncertain origin.] These are



ACTIVE PASSIVE

a. The Perfect Indicative active has the special terminations[3][Of these terminations is not a personal ending, but appears to represent Indo-European tense-sign -ai of the Perfect Middle. In -is-tí and -is-tis, -tí and -tis personal endings; for -is-, see § 169. c. N. In -i-t and -i-mus, -t and -mus are perso[QUERY] endings, and i is of uncertain origin. Both -érunt and -ére are also of doubtful orig[QUERY] but the former contains the personal ending -nt.]: -
