The endings of the first and second person plurals come from the Latin second conjugation (1P -em < Lat. -ēmus with loss of the final -us, 2P -eu < Lat. -ētis with loss of the final S); older versions of Catalan had -am (from Latin -āmus with loss of the final -us; the expected ending would be *-amos or *-ames) as the first person plural, and -au (from Latin -ātis with loss of the final S; the expected ending would be *-aus or *-ats) as the second person plural. The third person plural ending -en replaced -ānt due to the stress being pulled to the end in -an, while the second person singular ending -es was affected by natural sound development.
