#### Conjugation

* No perfect stem is attested in Classical Latin; nevertheless, some grammars and dictionaries list a perfect stem in glūps- (compare scrībō, perfect stem scrīps- and nūbō, perfect stem nūps-) and at least one form built on this stem has been used in New Latin (see Hertzberg 1843 and Sykes 1877, quoted above). The supine stem is attested once for the prefixed derivative dēglūbō, but not in a way that clarifies the hidden quantity of the vowel (which could be long by analogy with the present stem, but could conceivably be short if descended from an old zero-grade form *glubʰto-).

#### Synonyms

* exuō
* spoliō

#### Derived terms

* dēglūbō
