inquiat
Could someone find a source for "inquiat"? I searched it on Perseus and could not find it attested. Quasinanopraeverbium (talk) 01:44, 5 August 2015 (UTC)


 * There are hits on Google Books, though most of them are mentions in dictionaries and grammars. Here's the first example in running text that I came across (it's at the end of the first line of the third paragraph). It may not be good classical Latin, but it's Latin, nonetheless. I don't have time to look further, but there might be some older examples in there somewhere. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:54, 5 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It’s Classical. The entry for cites “pres. subj. inquiat Rhet.Her.4.5”, referring to the  (post 86 BC), specifically ’s Teubner edition of 1923, at book IV, § 5. I’ll add the quotation to Citations:inquam. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 14:35, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

nca
where did you find the info about Sicilian nca being a derivative of this verb? The (admittedly old) dictionary I found gives it as an apheretic shortening of dunca =, which has no connection to this verb. This, that and the other (talk) 10:20, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
