- Why is this here? This is a pretty standard Latin conjugation form. (By "standard" I mean "broadly accepted as a normal and predictable verb form"; it is definitely a poetic form, and not used in prose or speech.) I suspect not all Latin verb forms are attested, but if the main verb is attested, isn't it in the interests of making the dictionary as useful as possible to include all the standard verb form entries for that verb?

- My real question was whether syncopated forms appear in fairly modern Latin writing. I'm all for the addition of Latin syncopated forms (a matter I intend to bring up soon), but I'm just curious about these modern uses of a pretty obscure Classical form. —JohnC5 (Talk | contribs) 09:10, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, those citations are a bit puzzling. I would consider anyone writing in Latin in the 20th century who is not a classical scholar or an ecclesiastic writer to be quite pompous, so maybe these people were aiming for maximum pomposity by using poetic forms in their prose...
