And here is what Weiss says: "The form dice is actually attested in Old Latin, but it is not clear whether this is the preform of dic or an analogically restored form. Compounds of duco and fero also have the short forms, e.g. educ, effer. 2nd sg. imperatives from compounds of dico are not attested in the Classical period, although the grammarian Diomedes recommends addic, etc. In the Classical period compounds of facio of both the calefacio type and the conficio type have the unapocopated forms, e.g. calface, confice."
