conjugation of "do" and explain the many differences to Wheelock's.
Thanks in advance.

advice is -
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Thanks Patruus, I sort of came to that conslusion myself after
scratching my head over two or three of my translated sentences. I am
now looking at it from the point of view that it's hardly possible some
chappie woke up one morning and wrote a new conjugation of an old verb.
Which makes me wonder if there were ever a period when this
conjugation

Keep as far away as you can from that Verbix. Regard it as the devil
himself sliding and slithering into Eden in the guise of a snake.
It's wrong; it's utterly wrong; it's destructively wrong. It should be
totally disregarded.

Yes, Ed, I am starting to agree with this evergrowing opinion.
Almost a year ago I downloaded the Verbix-Maltese section just to see
what they did with my language and immediately decided to contribute
changes. As time went by I realized it would be easier for me to get
out my Kalepin dictionary, go to Page 1, Verse 1 and conjugate from
scratch each verb I meet. I am doing this off and on in my MS Access so
that later on I can cross-index the verbs before I upload them to
Verbix.
What I visualized as a two-month job will likely take me three or four
years because I get tired very quickly nowadays. It could have been a
nice little earner, I suppose, but I decided to donate the effort
because I thought I would be making extensive use of Verbix-Latin if I
did take on a home study of the language. Well, someone must have taken
time to do the Latin conjugations, and, it appears, that the road to
Hell is still paved with them.
