I thought that it would be fun to talk about some words that we find clever, funny, amusing, or for some other reason interesting.
I like:
quaererere - the imperfect passive subjunctive second person singular of quaero is quite amusing.
Which, when conjugated in the second-person singular imperfect passive subjunctive, forms the delightful tongue-twister quaererere.
(Though it doesn't appear to be attested. Hmmm, I wonder why? )
(This doesn't seem quite right in "Reading Latin", but I can't think of a better subforum, so it's going here.)That one seems to be a typo for quaerere.
Ditto.
Does anyone know of an actual attested (deliberate) use of quaererere? I understand why authors would be reluctant to use it, both for considerations of diction and meter, but you'd think someone would have done it to sound amusing, if nothing else.
