'fulgunt' was bever used in old Latin.

Hey I am sorry that I created this page (as a mistake). The word 'fulgunt' was never used in old Latin. The word 'fulgent' was used in Latin! Please help me to delete this page. SumMus235711 SumMus235711 (talk) 16:24, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

As far as I see, fulgent is 3-rd plural present of fulgeo and fulgunt quite grammatically legal 3-rd plural present of fulgo.

I recall the combination as one of irregular verbs, where both 2. and 3. conjugations share the same infinitive. As I recall we used to prefer fulgit/fulgunt at school.

I currently can't reach any source (of Latin gramatics, with relevant list of irregular verbs), but in my mind association is to Jupiter fulgit, tonat et pluit, which is, by Silvo Kopriva, the reason why those verbs are in third singular for meteorologic phenomena (in several languages, even when the ancient god's name fell out of use), evolving from Jupiter is lightening and thundering and raining to it is lightening and thundering and raining, or from Slovenian Perun bliska, grmi, dežuje in sneži to impersonal bliska se, grmi, dežuje, sneži for from Perun is... to it is flasing, thundering, ranining, snowing.

Because in last several thousand years in culture around here (most of Europe) one god (whichever) was responsible for most of thunder and lightning, and rain, etc., plural fulgunt was rarely used in Latin in this meaning (the text would need to be about demons of bad weather or something similar, but there it would be quite apropriate).--Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 23:31, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Apparently the creator wants this page deleted. Meh. Indian subcontinent (talk) 22:10, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

@Indian subcontinent: The securely-attested third-declension forms of this verb are more numerous than the attested forms of some Latin verbs listed on the website (and infinitives in -ĕre are not distinguishable from -ēre in prose); this entry doesn't deserve either deletion or even the usage note (which I removed).

It's creative, setting up an RFD to force an RFV - but I take your challenge: Spledores de caelo fulgunt aure concordi q(uando?) fulgunt some German dictionary quale rosae fulgunt inter sua lilia mixta. Thadh (talk) 08:45, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

This was detagged long ago and no-one here seems to actually want it deleted, so striking. - -sche (discuss) 06:58, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
