Re: [romanceconlang] Romance to be

Where you meet an initial _s_, as in Italian _sei_, _siete_, Sicilian _si_,
_siti_, _, Lombard _seet_ [se:t], _sii_ [si:] that's analogy with the _s_ in 
the 1st sg. + the regular ending (from Latin -tis).



Interesting.  Would I be imposing if I asked for the conjugation in Lombard?

If you are interested in odd forms, here's archaic Italian _enno_, Ligurian
_en_, Lombard _hinn_, meaning _they are_;


Where do *these* forms come from.  They are *way* cool.


or take a look also at Piedmontese

with its cool ending -oma for 1 pl. which applies also for verb 'to be':
soma [suma] (cantoma [kaN'tuma] we sing). Italian 'dialects' are
morphological treasures.


Also interesting.
