There is also List of Germanic and Latinate equivalents in English

latin to english

All of the verbs listed are int the third person singular, i.e., he/she/it writes/shouts/praises, etc.

I know that I am probably answering a homework question, but since it isn't a meaningful problem I'll offer these words:

Clamare - exclaim
Laudare - laud
Bibere - winebibber
Cantare - chant

Are we doing your homework for you? :|

Clamat: exclamation, declaim, clamour (or clamor in the US).

Bibit: imbibe, bibulous.

Cantat: incantation, canticle, chant, descant

Of course I could be lying. Just to be sure I suggest you check any answers in a dictionary.

Don't trust him Brad! It should have been pedicare rather than pedicere for pedicure

Ah, that explains something. I was pretty sure that Cattulus didn't write "Pedicebo ego vos. . ."

In all seriousness, though, don't use Imber's list

Oops. It's not a word I read (or use) too often, if that's any excuse.

Perhaps I need to brush up on my Catullus...
