Talk:obstreperus

Source for the lengthy commentary?
There are many Latin words in -ero that could've provided the basis for analogy. Notably, moderor is derived from modus (2nd declension, not 3rd), and tolero seems to use -ero like -ito. But even without these two it's unlikely that this word was derived from infinitive rather than from the present stem. 195.187.108.130 19:33, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

 * This is opposed to the suffixation of the first person present indicative, as is the usual custom when adjectives are created from verbs in Latin

I accept, without understanding, that the first person (singular!) present indicative is the customary key for dictionaries, though this leads to nonsense like “obstrepō [‘I roar’] is Latin for to roar.” But I *ahem* respectfully question the statement that dividō or prōdigō, rather than the stem divid or prōdig, is the base of the derivation of dividus or prōdigus. —2601:602:980:7790:8DFC:24ED:C566:36BD 02:08, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
