I. L. i. 205. (2). 55], descīsco (with tall form of I on Mon. Anc. v. 28, which also offers nascerer with an apex over the a); though at a later time, when the difference of quantity between vowels had become less marked, we find some uncertainty about the e of quiesco (see Gellius, vii. 15, who decides in favour of quiēsco, on the strength of călēsco, nĭtēsco, stŭpēsco and other Inceptives ; cf. ch. ii. § 144).1978 Vox Latina W. Sidney Allen 2nd 38-39 Vowels before sc. Before the verbal suffix -sc- the vowel is long in nearly all cases (nōsco, crēsco, pāsco, nāscor, quiēsco, obliuīscor, rubēsco, nancīscor, etc.); probable exceptions are pŏsco, dĭsco, compĕsco, Old Latin ĕscit, similarly mĭsceo, in which the sc derives from originally more complex consonant-groups. The rule is implied in general by Gellius (vii, 15), and supported by inscriptional forms such as créscéns (also Κρησκης), consenésceret, nótésceret, d(esc)ꟾscentem, náscerer, quiéscere, oblꟾuꟾscemur, erceiscunda; absence of vowel weakening in a medial syllable also indicates ā for hiasco (which would otherwise become hiesco). īscō no Suffix 3 -īscō la -ēscō Related terms la References Etymology 2 la 1 Pronunciation iscō Suffix la suffix form -iscō la -iscus dat//abl m//n s Spanish es -sco Suffix es pejorative suffixes es -sco; forms adjectives that signify "relation" to the word stem; sometimes pejorative es mar sea marisco seafood Suffix mes augmentative suffixes collective suffixes es -sco; forms augmentative nouns es -sco; forms collective nouns Derived terms es Further reading
