From Proto-Italic *swonaō, from Proto-Indo-European *swenh₂- (“to sound, resound”); cognate to Sanskrit स्वनति (svanati, “to sound, resound”), Proto-Slavic *zvoniti (“to ring”).
sonō (present infinitive sonāre, perfect active sonuī or sonāvī, supine sonitum or sonātum); first conjugation
sonō (present infinitive sonere, perfect active sonuī, supine sonitum); third conjugation (pre-classical)
The typical forms during the Classical period were the perfect active sonuī and supine sonitum, with the sonāvī and sonātum being sporadic until Late Latin: sonātūrum can be found in the Satires by Horace, sonāverint in Ad Scapulam by Tertullian, sonāvērunt three times in the Vulgate, and the syncopated form sonārit in Juvencus.
At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.
Found in the third conjugation in the pre-Classical period: sonĕre (infinitive) occurs twice in De rerum natura by Lucretius, and according to Nonius Marcellus, the poets Ennius and Accius both used sonit and sonunt, with Ennius' use of the latter also being corroborated by Priscian.
