Them There Irregular Latin Verbs
Like many of us, I am faced with difficulties with Them There Irregular Latin verbs and their provenance. So in all humility and charity I beg of thee to assist me in my comprehension of why these verbs have these principal parts. Others may contribute additional puzzling verbs.
amoco, amocare, amocavi, amocatus: to turn into BP. Is this verb related to amo?
ammo, ammare, ammavi, ouchatus: to sling machine gun belts around one's shoulders
cornflakeo, snapare, cracklavi, poptus. This one has always puzzled me.
montgomerywardo, venture, kmartavi, walmartatus: to buy at a discount. Some scholars maintain that searsavi is a valid alterative to kmartavi.
oopso, whoopsare, yikesavi, ughatus: likewise.
We all, of course, should strive to learn that ancient and elegant tongue.

Re: Them There Irregular Latin Verbs
One from my school days was:
hoc, coughere, spitui, mucus: to suffer from an upper respiratory infection.

Re: Them There Irregular Latin Verbs
To which I must reply:
Et expecto ressurrecreation.
Et in unum Dominos and checkers;
Qui tollis peccata mundi morning.
Mea culpa kyrie elei-
Sonny Tufts et Allah in Pompeii;
Donna nobis pacem cum what mei;
Agnus and her sister Doris Dei;
Lord, have mercy on my solo.
Et in terra chicken pox romana;
Sic sic transit gloria mañana;
Sanctus estes Kefauviridiana
In flagrante delicto Svetlana;
Lord, have mercy on my solo.
Credo in, at most, unum deum;
Caveat nabisco mausoleum;
Coitus interruptus bonus meum;
Kimo sabe watchum what you sayum;
Lord, have mercy on my soul so low
Sadly, it is not possible to find current mp3s of PDQ's great work "Missa Hilarious" which directly applies to your post.

Re: Them There Irregular Latin Verbs
Such profound poetry with pungent points to ponder. I salute your wisdom and can only reply with great humility and at the risk of repetition:
O sibili! Si demgo!
Fortibus es inero
O nobili demis trux
An alla demis fulla dux.
and
Latin is a language
As dead as it can be
First it killed the Romans
Now it's killing me.
Can you shed any light on the following verb?
yello, bellid, saep, succor?

Re: Them There Irregular Latin Verbs
Here are some more verbs
ringo, paul, john, george not sure what this means...something about a yellow submarine...
bilbo, baggins, dragon, hobbitus
frodo, frodare, ringberar, ninefinga
The meaning of these are also obscure.

Here's one that I think might have been overlooked:
incognito, incognitare, incognatavi, incognatus.
It's something that today's "Hollywood stars" wouldn't know anything about.
