 turally (horten the penultimate of fremens, gemens, &c. 



Note. — The irregularity of fuch words as monimentum, docflmen- 

 tum, &c. has lieen confidered as arifing from the lupine of the 

 fecond or third conjugation; which originally, before the effeft of 

 fyncope, is fuppofed to have generally been in U vi; as moneo, 

 monitum, monimentum ; doceo, or dokeo, dokitum, and by fyn- 

 cope dok'-tum or doftum ; whence dokimentum or docdmentum, 

 &c. But if thefe verbal nouns were primitively deducible from 

 their fupines, many of them muft have fubfequently aflumed the 

 charad^eriilic of the infinitive prefent, as the g of regimen and 

 tegimen will teftify. See Salmon's Stemmata Latinitatis on the 

 terminations men and mentum.
