The occurrence of the verb faced, which is now attested on a Faliscan krater, has major implications for the analysis of the forms built on the root *dheH1-k- in the Italic languages. Present tense forms of that root are characterized by a zero root grade and a suffix *-yo-, while the perfect is a formation with zero root grade and reduplication (*fe-fak-). Faliscan faced and its correspondants in Sabellic languages can be best explained as “dereduplicated” perfects, as opposed to the “aoristic” Latin perfect feci. The fact that faced is the perfect of the verb “make” in Faliscan also shows that Faliscan fifiked and fifiqod cannot belong to that root. This is an additional piece of evidence against the existence of a perfect with reduplication and a long root vowel (the *fe-fēk-) in the Italic languages.
