Latin verb paradigms

For each verb entry in a dictionary, there are multiple such agreement paradigms as shown in the table below. The names of the paradigms are taken from Langenscheidt Dictionary,{{cite book |last1=Cherubini |first1=Sabrina |last2=Epple |first2=Barbara |title=Langenscheidt Schulwörterbuch Pro Latein |date=2014 |publisher=Langenscheidt GmbH & Co.

Completions and adaptions: The paradigms 'imperative indirect active', 'imperative indirect passive', 'supine genitive', 'supine dative' are not present in this dictionary because they are rare in the Classical Period, however they are accounted for in Grammar books and articles. The paradigms for 'supine accusative' and 'supine ablative' are called 'Supine I' and 'Supine II' in the Langenscheidt dictionary, but often called 'supine accusative' and 'supine ablative' in academic articles when compared with the other two.

Latin has two major types of agreement paradigms with two or more verbs as shown in the tables below:

Some supines are rare, but they do occur althroughout the Classical Period. Following the grammatical pattern whereby supines combine with verbs of motion, we see two semantic patterns: events taking place either where the motion starts or where it ends. We also see supines as the event performed by speech acts.

The ablative supine represents a state change at the origin of motion.

• Prīmus cubitū surgat, postrēmus cubitum eat.Marcus Porcius Cato, De Agri Cultura 1.5.4/5
  He should be the first to rise from sleep and the last to go to lie down.

The accusative supine represents a state change at the destination of motion.

• Prīmus cubitū surgat, postrēmus cubitum eat.Marcus Porcius Cato, De Agri Cultura 1.5.4/5
  He should be the first to rise from sleep and the last to go to lie down.

The dative supine represents an event commanded by a speech act.

• Quid enim revocante et receptuī canente senātū properet dīmicāre?Marcus Tullius Cicero, Philippicae 12.9.1
  Why else would he hasten to fight the senate which was recalling and calling retreat?

• Mēdiā nocte receptuī signum dedit.Titus Livius, Ab Urbe Condita 36.23.8.1
  At midnight, he gave a sign to retreat.

The genitive supine may occur in periphrasis for an immediate future in the present.

• Quid ferat ignorās, et nunc tibī summa pavōris nuntīus armōrum tristis rumorque sinister. Victūs adest conjūnx. Quid perdis tempora luctūs?Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, Bellum Civile 8.51-53
  You don't how [your partner] is doing and now you hold the utmost fear of sad war news and a few sinister rumours. Your partner is about to win. Why do you waste time mourning?

And the ablative supine may occur in periphrasis for possible undesirable future in the present.

• Grāvidae quīdem fēminae, quibus tum adest partūs, abortū periclitantur.Aulus Cornelius Celsus, De Medicina 2.1.10.1
  Indeed, pregnant women, who are about to give birth, risk aborting.

• Sī mūlier contrā patrōnum suum ingrāta facta, sciēns sē ingrātam, cum dē suō statū periclitābātur, aliquid patrōnō dederit, vel prōmīserit, nē in servitūtem redigātur.Iustinianus, Digesta Iustiniani 4.2.21.pr.1
  If a [freed] woman commits an ingratitude against her patron, knowing that she is being ungreatful, when she risks being by herself, she must give or promise to give something to her patron to avoid being put back to slavery.
