subocau

== Umbrian == === Alternative forms === subocauu === Etymology === Uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *sub-wok-āō, a denominative verb to *wōks, from Proto-Indo-European *wṓkʷs. The linguist Giacomo Devoto doubts the connection with Proto-Indo-European *wṓkʷs, as he argues that *kʷ should have produced -p- in Umbrian. === Verb === subocau (1st person singular present active indicative) (late Iguvine) to invoke ==== Usage notes ==== It is also interpreted as a 1st-person singular perfect active indicative form. Poultney rejects this analysis, arguing that—if a perfect form—it must be interpreted as -v- perfect, a type of perfect stem that is not well-attested in the Osco-Umbrian languages. ==== Related terms ==== === References === Poultney, James Wilson (1959), The Bronze Tables of Iguvium‎[1], Baltimore: American Philological Association Buck, Carl Darling (1904), A Grammar of Oscan and Umbrian: With a Collection of Inscriptions and a Glossary‎[2] De Vaan, Michiel (2008), Etymological Dictionary of Latin and the other Italic Languages (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series; 7), Leiden, Boston: Brill, →ISBN, pages 691-692 Poultney, James W.
