== Latin == === Etymology === From ex- +‎ cantō (“I sing; enchant”, frequentative of canō). === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ɛkˈskan.toː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ekˈskan.to] === Verb === excantō (present infinitive excantāre, perfect active excantāvī, supine excantātum); first conjugation to enchant or charm ==== Conjugation ==== 1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to"). === References === “excanto”, in Charlton T.
