    Reconstruction notes

    [edit]

    The reconstruction of the past participle is somewhat tenuous. Hypothetically, the Proto-Indo-European form **kʷl̥h₁-tós would have produced Proto-Italic **kʷlā-to-, which would have culminated in Latin **clātus. The linguist Ville Leppänen suggests that *kʷlā-to- was a pre-Proto-Italic form which then turned into Proto-Italic *kʷeltos. The reconstruction of the aorist form is likewise tentative as there is no direct evidence for such a formation in Italic, though an ablauting aorist stem *kʷel- ~ *kʷol- would be expected as the regular outcome of a PIE root aorist *kʷélh₁-t *kʷl̥h₁-ént. The putative Proto-Italic aorist would have developed into Latin **col- ~ **col-, which would have been replaced by an innovative u-perfect coluī, perhaps out of a desire to create a more overtly-marked perfect form.[3]

    The optative is only classified as such because it might reflect the PIE optative. However, the etymology of these formations is disputed, and it would evolve into the subjunctive in both Latin and Sabellic. The regular PIE subjunctive is the source of the Latin future.
