Latin
Etymology
Partial regularization of the Classical Latin possum. The form possō is found beginning in the early second century CE in the letters of Claudius Terentianus.[1] The 3SG imperfect potēbat is attested at the end of the second century CE,[2] while the infinitive potēre and the 1SG imperfect potēbam are attested several times in the sixth century CE., and poteō (replacing possō and reflecting a full regularization of the verb) is first attested in 745 CE.[3]
Pronunciation
- (Proto-Romance) IPA(key): /ˈpɔsso/
Verb
possō (present infinitive potēre, perfect active potuī, supine *potūtum); second conjugation (Vulgar Latin)
Conjugation
The first person singular form used for the present active indicative and the entire present subjunctive treat the verb as "possō, possere." The rest of the present system conjugates like "poteō, potēre," much like Proto-Italic potēzi. This comes from the paradigm of Latin possum, which had a similar conjugation gimmick, but the latter had it in the first person singular and first person plural.
