Usage notes[edit]
In very rare circumstances, the perfect is adiuvāvī and the supine is adiuvātum.
Conjugation[edit]
1At least one use of the archaic "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
