Talk:concubeo

RFV discussion: January–March 2022
The forms concubuī and concubitum belong to the third conjugation verb. Are any second-conjugation present tense forms attested?--Urszag (talk) 18:46, 24 January 2022 (UTC)


 * The following forms beginning with concube- are attested in the Library of Latin Texts:
 * All of these uses are medieval, except for one Late Latin use - concubent in this 6th-century "additamenti" to a 5th-century text. Based on the tenses in that paragraph, I wouldn't have expected a present tense verb there; is it an error for (future)?
 * Overall I get the impression of scribal errors and reduction of -mb- to -b-; there is nothing there that makes me believe that a second conjugation verb was in the mind of an author. At best we could list  as an alternative form of . This, that and the other (talk) 03:11, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * L&S suggest that could be a first conjugation verb, and while they are often known to take guesses in circumstances like this, the Brepols Library of Latin Texts does have some first-conjugation forms:
 * So I'm tempted to fail this RFV and create noting that it is a Medieval alternative  form of, with both 1st- and 3rd-conjugation forms listed. What do you think? This, that and the other (talk) 10:03, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It seems plausible that there could be a first-conjugation concubō, like incubō. When I looked for evidence of third-conjugation concubō, I found a few cases but I wasn't sure if they might just be errors where an m was omitted. For example, it seems unclear whether the Latin text of “la Vauderye de Lyonois en brief” contains concubunt or concumbunt. Another example I possibly found: "...dicuntur daemones, qui sic concubunt" (De Philosophia mundi libri quattuor, quoted in Étude sur le "Merlin" de Robert de Boron: roman du XIIIe siècle, Alexandre Micha, 2000). I think your plan is good.--Urszag (talk) 09:11, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
