Usage notes

Monosyllabic conjugations were increasingly avoided in Classical Latin and into Late Latin. They survive nowhere in Romance.

Conjugation

Irregular, but similar to fourth conjugation. The third principal part iī occasionally appears as īvī in Plautus, but never in Cicero, Caesar, Sallust, or Livy. The perfect active infinitive and pluperfect subjunctive stem īsse occurs twice as iisse in the PHI corpus.
