The Latin ovāre (to triumph) is defective, but the following examples make an appearance in our extant literature:
- ovās, ovat
- ovet
- ovāret
- ovāns, ovātūrus, ovātus
- ovandī
They appear in a few fixed phrases—
- He entered the city in triumph: ovāns urbem ingrederētur.
- He revealed the triumphal gold: ovātum aurum dētexit.
- The allies gathered, triumphant: sociī comitentur ovantēs.
Compare also ovanter ‘exultingly’ and the Greek αύω (αϝύω) ‘increase.’
