Many í-verbs or verbs of the Fourth
Conjugation are formed from i-stems:
-
- mólior,
-írí, to toil, from mólés (-is), mass.
- finió, -íre,
to bound, from fínis,
end.
- sitió, -íre,
to thirst, from sitis,
thirst.
- stabilió, -íre,
to establish, from stabilis,
stable.
a. Some arise by confusion from other
stems treated as i-stems: -
- bullió,
-íre, to boil, from bulla (stem bullá-), bubble.
- condió, -íre,
to preserve, from condus
(stem condo-), storekeeper.
- ínsánió,
-íre, to rave, from ínsánus (stem ínsáno-), mad.
- gestió, -íre,
to show wild longing, from gestus (stem gestu-), gesture.
NOTE: Some of this form are of doubtful origin: as, órdior, begin, cf. órdó and exórdium. The formation is closely akin
to that of verbs in -ió of the
third conjugation (p. 102).
b. Some are formed with -ió from consonant stems: -
- cústódió,
-íre, to guard, from cústós (stem cústód-), guardian.
- fulgurió, -íre,
to lighten, from fulgur,
lightning.
NOTE: Here probably belong the so-called desideratives
in -urió (see § 263.4. N.).
