1At least one use of the archaic "sigmatic future" tense is attested, which is used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, and, as the verb is deponent, takes the form of what would otherwise be the rare sigmatic future passive indicative tense (which is not attested in the plural for any verb).
2The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested.
