Line 248:

*When the final ''-ō-'' is dropped in inflected forms, it is not considered part of the stem and is therefore unstressed. For example, the accusative of ''vomō'' is ''vominę''

** The stem is ''vomin-'', with the ''-in-'' dropped in the nominative singular.

*Another way to look at it: In the nominative singular, such nouns lose the final ''-(i)n-'' of their stem and add an unstressed ''-ō'' as an inflectional ending, with stress on the syllable immediately preceding the ending. If this results in a sequence of two ō's, the ''-ō'' of the inflectional ending is absorbed into the ''-ō'' of the stem. For example:

For example (an acute accent has been used to denote stress):

**''vom(in)-'' + '''''-ō''''' > ''~~vom~~ō''

**''vom(in)-'' + '''''-ō''''' > ''vómō''

**''fōrmācō(n)-'' + '''''-ō''''' > *''~~fōrmācō~~ō'' > ''~~fōrmācō~~''

**''fōrmācō(n)-'' + '''''-ō''''' > *''fōrmācṓō'' > ''fōrmācṓ''
