a’mo:, ama:’re (love)       mo’neo:, mone:’re (advise)
PRES.  STEM ama:-             PRES.  STEM mone:-

      SINGULAR PLURAL PERSONAL ENDINGS
  1. a’mo:, I love mo’neo:, I advise -o: 
  2. a’ma:s, you love mo’ne:s, you advise -s
  3. a’mat, he (she, it) loves mo’net, he (she, it) advises -t

1. ama:’mus, we love           mone:’mus, we advise         -mus
2. ama:’tis, you love          mone:’tis, you advise        -tis
3. a’mant, they love          mo’nent, they advise         -nt
1.  The present tense is inflected by adding the personal endings to the present stem, and its first person uses -o and not -m.  The form amo:\ is for ama-o:\, the two vowels a-o:\ contracting to o:\.  In moneo:\ there is no contraction. _Nearly all regular verbs ending in -eo belong to the second conjugation._

  2.  Note that the long final vowel of the stem is shortened before
  another vowel (mone:-o:  = mo’neo:), and before final -t (amat,
  monet) and -nt (amant, monent).  Compare Sec. 12.2.

129. Like amo:\ and moneo:\ inflect the present active indicative of the following verbs[2]:
