 Third Conjugation

There are nearly 120 simple verbs of the Second Conjugation, most of them denominative verbs of condition, having a corresponding noun and adjective from the same root, and an inceptive in -scō (§ 263 . 1):— caleō , be warm; calor , warmth; calidus , warm; calēscō , grow warm. timeō , fear; timor , fear; timidus , timid; per-timēsco , to take fright.

Most verbs of the second conjugation are inflected like moneō , but many lack the supine (as, arceō , ward off; careō , lack; egeō , need; timeō , fear ), and a number have neither perfect nor supine (as, maereō , be sad ).

The following keep ē in all the systems:—

dēleō , destroy dēlēre dēlēvī dēlētum fleō , weep flēre flēvī flētum neō , sew nēre nēvī [ nētum ] vieō , plait viēre [ viēvī ] viētum com-pleō , fill up And other compounds of -pleō . -plēre -plēvī -plētum
