a. The compounds adeō, approach, ineō, enter, and some others, are tran sitive. They are inflected as follows in the passive:—

Thus inflected, the forms of eō are used impersonally in the third person singular of the passive: as, itum est (§ 208. d). The infinitive īrī is used with the supine in -um to make the future infinitive passive (§ 193. N.). The verb vēneō, be sold (i.e. vēnum eō, go to sale), has also several forms in the passive.

b. In the perfect system of eō the forms with v are very rare in the simple verb and unusual in the compounds.

c. ii before s is regularly contracted to ī: as, īsse.

d. The compound ambiō is inflected regularly like a verb of the fourth conjugation. But it has also ambībat in the imperfect indicative.

e. Prō with eō retains its original d: as, prōdeō, prōdīs, prōdit.
