Usage notes
Many verbs ending in la -titō are simply "double frequentatives", formed to already-frequentative verbs in la -tō, and are therefore not truly uses of this suffix. However, some verbs exist where the "intermediate" single frequentative is missing, e.g.:
la emō (supine la ēmptum) > la ēmptitō (but no la *ēmptō)
la haereō (supine la haesum) > la haesitō (but no la *haesō)
la scrībō (supine la scrīptum) > la scrīptitō (but no la *scrīptō)
