PECULIARITIES OF CONJUGATION.

116. 1.  Perfects in -avi, -evi, and -ivi, with the forms derived from them, often drop the ve or vi before endings beginning with r or s.  So also novi (from nosco) and the compounds of movi (from moveo).  Thus:—­

amavisti amasti delevisti delesti amavisse amasse delevisse delesse amaverunt amarunt deleverunt delerunt amaverim amarim deleverim delerim amaveram amaram deleveram deleram amavero amaro delevero delero novisti nosti noverim norim novisse nosse noveram noram audivisti audisti audivisse audisse

2.  In the Gerund and Gerundive of the Third and Fourth Conjugations, the endings -undus, -undi, often occur instead of -endus and -endi, as faciundus, faciundi.
