Why Latin has Principal Parts
Explaining the origin of Latin's principal parts through comparative linguistics. Analysis of Sanskrit verbs shows why Latin's verb system is so unpredictable and sometimes hard to learn. Personally, I don't think I can consider myself as having been truly alive before witnessing my own creation.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!
FURTHER READING RECOMMENDATIONS:
"Outline of the Historical and Comparative Grammar of Latin" by Michael Weiss
"New Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin" by Andrew Sihler
"Ablaut and the Latin Verb: Aspects of Morphophonological Change" by Ville Leppänen
It all makes sense from the Proto-Indo-European point of view. 🤨
Music:
Gabriel Fauré
Sicilienne, Op. 78
