Pransus and potus1 have a meaning which does
not correspond to their form. And what of those
verbs which are only partially conjugated? Some
(as for instance fero) even suffer an entire change in
the perfect. Others are used only in the third
[p. 79]
person, such as licet and piget, while some resemble
nouns tending to acquire an adverbial meaning; for
we say dictu and factu2 as we say noctu and diu,
since these words are participial though quite different
from dicto and facto.
