Nouns and Verbs in Inglish: -cte In Inglish, verbs that end in -cte follow consistent patterns in both their verb conjugations and noun derivations. Verbs retain the -cte ending for all pronouns in the present tense, except for the third-person singular, which drops -te and adds -s. Examples: Infinitive and Present Tense: ta acte, acte Singular Third-Person Present: acs Past Tense: acted Continuous/Gerund: acting Nouns derived from these verbs drop the -e in their singular form; for plurals, they drop the -t and add -s. Examples: Singular: act Plural: acs Many of these verbs have their origins in Latin, where nouns indicating an action or its result were often formed using the suffix -io (nominative singular) or -ionis (genitive singular). In Latin, these nouns were derived from the supine stem or perfect participle of the verb, which functioned as a verbal noun. The supine stem was a specific form of the verb used in Latin to denote purpose or result, and when combined with -io, it created nouns that described actions or their outcomes (e.g., actio from agere). These nouns entered English through French, which used -tion (e.g., action), closely following the Latin -io form. In Inglish, however, the adaptation of these verb forms takes a slightly different approach. Rather than using the -tion ending found in Modern English (influenced by French), Inglish adopts a Spanish-inspired interpretation, using the suffix -cion for the corresponding nouns. This reflects the way many Latin-based languages, including Spanish, have adapted these verb forms. In Inglish, verbs ending in -cte change to -cion for noun forms, where the verb’s -t is replaced by -c, following this inherited Latin morphological structure.
