 * No idea what you're talking about. Present participles for verb classes II and III are not distinguished from each other by length in any of their endings. The fact that Von Wartburg did not write nocēns with a macron is irrelevant- he frequently leaves out obvious or irrelevant vowel lengths. I myself often leave off the macron in this sort of example where a long vowel is entirely predictable by the rule whereby /n/ before /s/ is lost, with lengthening and nasalization of the preceding vowel.
