Talk:valeo

L&S says that the past participle is valitus [1]. Harris Morgan 01:56, 3 March 2008 (UTC).

Lewis (shorter version), Langenscheit, and Wheelock all have (deprecated template usage) valitūrum. However the "Big Gold Book of Latin Verbs" agrees with L&S, and the Oxford Latin Desk Dictionary indicates no deviation from the regular pattern. --EncycloPetey 02:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll check the OLD later at the Library. The Oxford Latin Minidictionary, has valitum and it's essentialy an abridgement so it probably reflects the big OLD. Harris Morgan 02:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC).

Thanks, that's one I don't have yet. Looks like there's disagreement among the major sources. We may need citations for this form, and a Usage note in the meantime pointing this problem out. Oh, the joys of research! --EncycloPetey 02:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

The OLD does indeed have valitum. 501 Latin Verbs says there is no past participle. Harris Morgan 17:24, 3 March 2008 (UTC).

There ain't no past passive participle. Look for any form of "valitus" in the Latin Library or via Google (hint: try a search like site:www.thelatinlibrary.com valitum"). It occurs in some medieval authors.

If some medieval authors used it, then it exists. Our coverage of Latin includes medieval Latin. --EncycloPetey 23:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the supinum should be valitum, not valiturum (which is the active future participle)
