Re: [tied] I'm back with a few questions

>Use Google. You'll get some 57,400 hits for "I vomit" plus 27,500 for
"they vomit", plus more than 600 for each of the corresponding present
continuous variants.

Ingenious.  But I know that if you google "I vomit", you get all instances of "vomit" and "I" in the same website or in the same sentence (even paragraph, I think), and not necessarily the exact sequence "I vomit".


>There's also <vomunt> 'they vomit' and of course the Lat. perf. forms
<vomui:>, <vomuit> etc., in all of which the /o/ is regular. It's surely
comon to say "I/he threw up".

I'm inclined to believe that the -o- of vomere is from the perfect.  It seems significantly more plausible to me at least.

I guess I missed your point - I'm sure you'd say it's from a generalization of the vowel *teno: > ton� as well as the 3rd pl. form (and perhaps also the perfect).
