coeo

From con- +‎ eō (“go”).

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [ˈko.e.oː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [ˈkɔː.e.o]

coeō (present infinitive coīre, perfect active coiī or coīvī, supine coitum); irregular conjugation

1. to assemble, meet, come together

   in triclinio coeam, in cubiculo nolam ― I meet (you) at the table but I won’t at the dormitory

2. to encounter, come up against
3. to copulate, have sex
4. to join, ally with
5. to unite, come together as a whole
6. to mass together, ball up, curdle

• Though the use of the accusative is more precisely classified as a cognate accusative, the only noun that is ever attested as an object of coeo is societatem ("to [come together and] form an alliance").

Irregular conjugation, but similar to fourth conjugation. The second principal part is most often contracted to coiī, but occasionally appears as coīvī.
