ulcisco

Latin

Pronunciation

Verb

ulcīscō (present infinitive ulcīscere); third conjugation, semi-deponent, no perfect or supine stems

  1. (Old Latin) alternative form of ulcīscor

Conjugation

1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
2The form "ullō" may have resulted from a later, erroneous misreading of "ulsō".
