Information about the source
Four verbs,
dīcō
,
dūcō
,
faciō
,
ferō
,—with their compounds, drop the vowel-termination of the Imperative, making
dīc
,
dūc
,
făc
,
fĕr
;
but compounds in
-ficiō
retain it, as,
cōnfice
.
The imperative forms
dīce
,
dūce
,
face
(never
fere
), occur in early Latin.
For the imperative of
sciō
, the future form
scītō
is always used in the singular, and
scītōte
usually in the plural.
