Verb FÄ«Å￾ and Subjunctive of result questions

[Andrus]

Saluēte omēs,

I have two questions regarding the lesson LXVIII of the book,

http://www.textkit.com/files/BLD_Latin_ ... f#page=177

First in the Appendix the conjugation of the verb FÄ«Å￾ (see the link bellow) hasn’t the forms of the first and second person of the plural in the present active. I presume that means that they don’t exist. Do the other tenses and moods have these forms?

The second question is about the difference of the subjunctive of propose and the subjunctive of result. I guess that in most cases the context tells us what is the situation, but in very simple phrases I don’t see how it is possible to know which is used. Like:

“PugnÅ￾ ut uicamâ€￾

Could this mean both “I fight to conquerâ€￾ (propose) and “I fight so I conquerâ€￾ (result)?
Or in this case I would have to write “sÄ«câ€￾ to make it a result clause?

Finally if I did write “sÄ«câ€￾ where should it be in the phrase?

“PugnÅ￾ sÄ«c ut uicamâ€￾ or “SÄ«c pugnÅ￾ ut uicamâ€￾?

As I said it I presume that in most cases the context clarify it, I only asking to know if I’m missing something.

Best regards and thanks for any help.

I don't think so : it means that these forms are to be understood in relationship with the other forms from the same paradigm, so FIMUS, FITIS

Maybe, but the negation is not the same :
PURPOSE : "I fight not to be conquered" : Pugno ne vincar.

RESULT : "I fought in such a way that I was not conquered" : Ita pugnavi ut non vincerer.

Thanks Skylax for your answers.

Then (result clause ) it is better to review the conjugation of “FÄ«Å￾â€￾
