Latin, Etymology 1[edit]

Here are the frequency data for 3rd person passive forms (as found in the linguistic-networks.net corpus):

funditur	308
funduntur	149
fundetur 	108
fundentur	14
fundebatur	94
fundebantur	22
fundatur	307
fundantur	95
funderetur	83
funderentur	17
funditor	0
funduntor	0
fundendus	24
fusus		378

so (based on this) I am switching the conjugation template from la-conj-3rd-nopass to la-conj-3rd-pass3p (and I removed the passive imperative forms from la-conj-3rd-pass3p). —AugPi 23:24, 31 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Irregularity of *ǵʰ→h→f[edit]

Why is the shift from PIE *ǵʰ- to an H to an F at the beginning of a word described as "irregular"? PIE aspirated plosives at the beginning of a word normally do end up as an F in Latin; are we saying the intermediate step usually isn't "H"? And if it's irregular, then how do we know that the irregular thing is what actually happened?
