Syllable Decomposition

pouvoir

The Latin posse is intrinsically a compound verb potis sum "I am master of". In fact, apart from the first person singular and the infinitive posse (for potis esse), the verb is "almost" regular on the basis of pot-sum, see potes, potest, possumus, potestis and possunt for the present, see potero, poteris, poterit, poterimus, poteritis and poterunt for the future, the present participle potens being regular.
