Since we are at this topic:

honos, honestus, honestas, honorare;
modus, modestus, modestas, moderare;
scelus, scelestus, scelerare;
tempus, tempestas, temperare.

But:

vetus, vetustus, vetustas, veterare;
Venus, venustus, venustas, venerare;
arbos, arbustus.

Why some have derivatives have -us-t-, some -es-t-? Why 'honorare' and
not '!*honerare' ?

Edgard.
